This joyous and exuberant piece is one of a set of three communion motets; the others are The wonders of thy grace and O sacred banquet. It is appropriate for any liturgical season.
Text (excerpts): Johann Franck (1618-1677)
Soul, adorn yourself with gladness, leave the gloomy haunts of sadness, come into the daylight’s splendor, there with joy your praises render. . . . Jesus, source of lasting pleasure, truest friend and dearest treasure, worthily let me receive you, and, so favored never leave you.
