Original text and translations
Latin text
Pange, lingua, gloriosi
Corporis Mysterium,
Sanguinisque pretiosi
Quem in mundi pretium
Fructus ventris generosi
Rex effudit gentium.
Nobis datus, nobis natus
Ex intacta Virgine,
Ei in mundo conversatus
Sparso verbi semine,
Sui moras incolatus
Miro clausit ordine.
In supremae nocte coenae,
Recubens cum fratribus,
Observata lege plene
Cibis in legalibus,
Cibum turbae duodenae
Se dat suis manibus.
Verbum Caro panem verum
Verbo carnem efficit,
Fitque Sanguis Christi merum
Et, si sensus deficit,
Ad firmandum cor sincerum
Sola fides sufficit.
Tantum ergo Sacramentum
veneremur cernui,
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedati ritui:
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.
Genitori, Genitoque
laus et jubilatio;
SaIus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio;
Procedenti ab Utroque
Compar sit laudatio. Amen.
Venantius Fortunatus
