Cantemos a Jesus Sacramentado

The song 'Cantemos a Jesus Sacramentado' by Juan Ignacio Busca Sagastizábal is a heartfelt hymn dedicated to the adoration of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. The lyrics are a call to worship, inviting believers to join in a chorus of praise and reverence for the presence of Jesus in the sacrament. The repeated affirmation 'Deus está aqui!' (God is here!) emphasizes the belief in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, a central tenet of Catholic faith.

The song's verses are rich with imagery and expressions of devotion. The mention of angels and celestial choirs highlights the divine and heavenly nature of the worship being offered. The lyrics 'Glória a Cristo Jesus! Céus e terra, bendizei ao senhor!' (Glory to Christ Jesus! Heavens and earth, bless the Lord!) call for a universal acknowledgment of Christ's glory, extending the invitation to all of creation to join in the praise. This universal call to worship underscores the omnipresence and omnipotence of God.

Furthermore, the song speaks to the personal relationship between the believer and Jesus. Phrases like 'Jesus, acende em nós a viva chama do mais fervente amor' (Jesus, ignite in us the living flame of the most fervent love) and 'Está porque nos ama, como pai, amigo e benfeitor' (He is here because He loves us, like a father, friend, and benefactor) reflect a deep, intimate connection with the divine. The hymn also offers comfort and solace, suggesting that those who seek consolation and relief from their sorrows can find it in the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. The 'hóstia consagrada' (consecrated host) is described as containing 'tesouros de divinal dulçor' (treasures of divine sweetness), emphasizing the spiritual nourishment and grace that believers receive through the sacrament.
