LATIN

 

    Tantum ergo sacramentum

     veneremur cernui

     et antiquum documentum 

     novo cedat ritui.

     Praestet fides supplementum

     sensuum  defectui.

 

 

     Genitori genitoque

     laus et jubilatio

     salus, honor, virtus quoque

     sit et benedictio.

     Procedenti ab utroque

     compar sit laudatio.

     Amen. »

 

℣. Panem de cælis præstitisti eis

℟. Omne delectamentum in se habentem

 

Oremus:

Deus, qui nobis sub sacramento mirabili, passionis tuæ memoriam reliquisti: tribue, quæsumus, ita nos corporis et sanguinis tui sacra mysteria venerari, ut redemptionis tuæ fructum in nobis iugiter sentiamus. Qui vivis et regnas in sæcula sæculorum.

 

 

ENGLISH

 

     Down in adoration falling,

     Lo! the sacred Host we hail,

     Lo! o'er ancient forms departing

     Newer rites of grace prevail;

     Faith for all defects supplying,

     Where the feeble senses fail.

     To the Everlasting Father,

     And the Son Who reigns on high

     With the Holy Ghost proceeding

     Forth from Each eternally,

     Be salvation, honour, blessing,

     Might, and endless majesty.

     Amen

 

℣. Thou hast given them bread from heaven.

℟. Having within it all sweetness.

 

Let us pray:

O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament left us a memorial of Thy Passion: grant, we implore Thee, that we may so venerate the sacred mysteries of Thy Body and Blood, as always to be conscious of the fruit of Thy Redemption. Thou who livest and reignest forever and ever.

℟. Amen.
