- 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 coenae
- 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 jubilatio,
- salus, honor, virtus quoque
- sit et benedictio:
- procedenti ab utroque
- compar sit laudatio.
- Amen. Alleluja.

- Sing, my tongue, the Savior's glory,
- of His flesh the mystery sing;
- of the Blood, all price exceeding,
- shed by our immortal King,
- destined, for the world's redemption,
- from a noble womb to spring.
- Of a pure and spotless Virgin
- born for us on earth below,
- He, as Man, with man conversing,
- stayed, the seeds of truth to sow;
- then He closed in solemn order
- wondrously His life of woe.
- On the night of that Last Supper,
- seated with His chosen band,
- He the Pascal victim eating,
- first fulfills the Law's command;
- then as Food to His Apostles
- gives Himself with His own hand.
- Word-made-Flesh, the bread of nature
- by His word to Flesh He turns;
- wine into His Blood He changes;
- what though sense no change discerns?
- Only be the heart in earnest,
- faith her lesson quickly learns.
- 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, honor, blessing,
- might and endless majesty.
- Amen. Alleluia.
