Edition notes: This edition employs the Edward Caswall translation ("Sing, my tongue, the Savior's glory"), rather than the John Mason Neal translation ("Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle") of the Pange lingua text. Otherwise, it is the same as Wood's original, in terms of pitch, note values, accidentals, and so forth.

English.png English text

Sing, my tongue, the Savior's glory;
tell His triumph far and wide;
tell aloud the famous story
of His body crucified;
how upon the cross a victim,
vanquishing in death, He died.

Eating of the tree forbidden,
man had sunk in Satan's snare,
when our pitying Creator did
this second tree prepare;
destined, many ages later,
that first evil to repair.

Such the order God appointed
when for sin He would atone;
to the serpent thus opposing
schemes yet deeper than his own;
thence the remedy procuring,
whence the fatal wound had come.

Blessing, honor, everlasting,
to the immortal Deity;
to the Father, Son, and Spirit,
equal praises ever be;
glory through the earth and heaven
to Trinity in Unity. Amen.
Translation by Edward Caswall
