Latin text

Ego sum panis vivus,
qui de caelo descendi.
Si quis manducaverit ex hoc pane,
vivet in aeternum,
alleluia.

English translation Translation supplied by The St. Ann Choir, directed by William Mahrt

I am the living bread which came down from heaven.
Whosoever shall eat of this bread shall live forever,
alleluia.

German translation

Ich bin das lebendige Brot,
der ich vom Himmel herabgekommen bin.
Wenn jemand von diesem Brot ißt,
wird er in Ewigkeit leben.
Halleluja.
