Original text

Latin text

Panis angelicus fit panis hominum;
Dat panis coelicus figuris terminum:
O res mirabilis! Manducat Dominum
|: Pauper, pauper, servus et humilis. :|

Te trina Deitas, unaque poscimus, Sic nos tu visita, sicut te colimus; Per tuas semitas duc nos quo tendimus, |: Ad lucem quam inhabitas. :|

Translations

File:Flag eng.png English translation: The bread of the angels becomes the bread of man;
the bread from heaven makes an end to figures:
Oh wondrous thing! The poor, the slave
and the humble man feed on their lord.

Of you, threefold and one God, we ask:
Come to visit us as we worship you;
lead us on your paths to where we want to go:
to the light in which you dwell.
