Adoration - Adoracija sv. Toma Akvinski
Lyrics:
Croatian
Klanjam ti se smjerno, tajni Bože naš,
što pod prilikama tim se sakriva;
srce ti se moje cijelo predaje,
jer dok promatra te, svijest mu prestaje
Vid i opip, okus varaju se tu,
al' za čvrstu vjeru dosta je što čuh;
vjerujem u svemu Kristu, Bogu svom,
istine nad ovom nema Istinom.
Samo Bog na križu bješe oku skrit,
ovdje je i čovjek tajnom obavit;
vjerujem u oba, oba priznajem,
s razbojnikom isto skrušen vapijem.
Rana kao Toma ja ti ne vidim,
ipak Bogom svojim priznajem te s njim;
daj da vjera moja uvijek življe sja,
da se ufam u te, da te ljubim ja.
Uspomeno smrti Spasa premilog,
živi kruše što si život puka svog:
daj da sveđ od tebe i moj živi duh,
dokraj žića budi najslađi mu kruh.
Pelikane nježni, Spasitelju moj,
blaatna me u krvi peri presvetoj:
i kap njena može svijet da spasi cijel,
da bez ljage bude, posve čist i bijel.
Isuse, kog sad mi krije veo taj,
žarku želju, molim, ti mi uslišaj:
daj da otkrito ti lice ugledam
i u slavi tvojoj blažen uživam. Amen
English
Godhead here in hiding, whom I do adore,
Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more,
See, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart
Lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art.
Seeing, touching, tasting are in thee deceived:
How says trusty hearing? that shall be believed;
What God's Son has told me, take for truth I do;
Truth himself speaks truly or there's nothing true.
On the cross thy godhead made no sign to men,
Here thy very manhood steals from human ken:
Both are my confession, both are my belief,
And I pray the prayer of the dying thief.
I am not like Thomas, wounds I cannot see,
But can plainly call thee Lord and God as he;
Let me to a deeper faith daily nearer move,
Daily make me harder hope and dearer love.
O thou our reminder of Christ crucified,
Living Bread, the life of us for whom he died,
Lend this life to me then: feed and feast my mind,
There be thou the sweetness man was meant to find.
Bring the tender tale true of the Pelican;
Bathe me, Jesu Lord, in what thy bosom ran---
Blood whereof a single drop has power to win
All the world forgiveness of its world of sin.
Jesu, whom I look at shrouded here below,
I beseech thee send me what I thirst for so,
Some day to gaze on thee face to face in light
And be blest for ever with thy glory's sight.
Amen.
Thank you very much indeed for this beautiful recording.
I wish you all a very happy Christmas.
Benedicamus Domino...
