I don't like that change at all, precisely because it destroys the theological meaning of the whole hymn. "Ave Verum Corpus" is a Western Eucharistic hymn sung during the consecration of the bread and wine. It extols the crucified Body and Blood of Christ, by which we who partake of it are made divine by God's grace to us through Christ and in the communion of the Holy Spirit. Christ is one Divine Person, the eternal Word of God, having two natures: divine and human. With the Holy Spirit, he eternally shares in the divine nature of the Father. But being the only Person of the Trinity to become incarnate, he also has taken on human nature, whereby he suffered for and redeemed our nature in its entirety through his death, burial, and resurrection. God is eternal and incorruptible and thus cannot die. And yet Jesus died on the cross. So, it was not the Divine Nature of Christ that died on the cross, but his human nature. And he acquired that human nature from Mary, the Mother of God (Theotokos, meaning "Birth-giver to God"), at the incarnation. Christ is the Son of God and the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. That is beyond dispute. But the emphasis of this hymn is on his deifying human Body and Blood in the Eucharist, and he has that human Body and Blood not by his nature as the Son of God (filia Patri) but by his nature as the Son of Mary (fili Mariae). The hymn is in praise of Christ's salvific humanity, and his humanity came from Mary.
I sang this at Millikin University with the University Choir in 2021. This is probably one of my top 5 favorite choir pieces.
Domine Iesu Christi, Fili Dei, misere nobis.
Mater Dei, ora pro nobis.
This is so beautiful. My first time hearing this version. Thank you Nicholas Bissen for sending me here!
This song brings so much joy to my heart.
Fantástica versión. Gracias, BYU Singers. ¡Feliz Navidad!
I think that at least half of these 2,000 views are mine......beautifully done. Thanks for your talent.
I love this version so much
My choirs singing this 😂❤️ someone asked me what my fave song was and I said this
RIP Colin Mawby
Very nice!!!
And i like the arrangement at the end of the Song "O Iesu Filiae Patri" instead of "O Iesu Filii Mariae" ...
Very nice song!
