Lec Lab Live #54 (for January 19, 2014)

For the Second Sunday after the Epiphany, the texts center on the provoking question, "Who is Jesus, and what has he come to do?" Musical guests are the Capella Musicale Pieto Allori, under the direction of Mariano Garau; they chant the ancient words from Bernard of Clairvaux, Jesu, dulcis memoria ("Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee.")

Jesus, the very thought of Thee

With sweetness fills the breast!

Yet sweeter far Thy face to see

And in Thy Presence rest.

No voice can sing, no heart can frame,

Nor can the memory find,

A sweeter sound than Jesus' Name,

The Saviour of mankind.
