Description
This instrumental piece can be used in a church service (as an alternative to a choral motet/anthem) or as a meditative filler in a recital.
The words of the original choral piece relates to the mystery of transubstantiation:
Hoc est enim corpus meum [For this is my body]
The world’s eternity lies here within my hand.
The weight of pain, of love, redemption
is a sigh upon my hand,
My Christ, Lord of the infinite,
small to my comfort in my hand.
Humility of Love that tender here lies low.
White, trusting, full of care within my hand.
So, in my hand lies God.
Hoc est enim corpus meum.
