Pange Lingua (MP3)
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
- et in mundo conversatus,
- sparso verbi semine,
- sui moras incolatus
- miro clausit ordine.
- In supremae nocte cenae
- recumbens 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 cedat ritui;
- praestet fides supplementum
- sensuum defectui.
- Genitori Genitoque
- laus et iubilatio,
- salus, honor, virtus quoque
- sit et benedictio;
- procedenti ab utroque
- compar sit laudatio.
- Amen.
English translation
- Sing, my tongue,
- The mystery of the glorious body,
- And of the precious Blood
- That for the world’s salvation
- The fruit of a noble womb,
- The king of the nations, shed.
- Given to us, born to us,
- From an unblemished virgin,
- And having lived in the world,
- Scattering the seed of the Word,
- The time of his habitation
- Miraculously He closed in due order.
- In the night of His last supper,
- Resting with His brothers,
- The law being fully observed
- With permitted foods,
- To the group of twelve
- He gave Himself as food with his own hands.
- The Word in flesh true bread
- By a word makes His flesh,
- And also makes true wine the Blood of Christ,
- And if sense is lacking,
- To confirm a true heart
- Faith alone suffices.
- Therefore so great a Sacrament
- Let us fall down and worship,
- And let the old law
- Give way to a new rite,
- And let faith stand forward
- To make good the defects of sense.
- To the Father and the Son
- Be praise and joy,
- Health, honour and virtue
- And blessing,
- And to him proceeding from both
- Be equal praise. Amen
