O sacrum convivium, in quo Christus sumitur;
recolitur memoria passionis ejus;
mens impletur gratia;
et futurae gloriae nobis pignus datur.
(Alleluia)

Panem de caelo praestitisti eis
Omnem delectamentum in se habentem.

O sacred banquet, wherein Christ is received;
the memorial of his passion is renewed;
the soul is filled with grace;
and a pledge of future glory is given to us.
(Alleluia)

You gave them bread from heaven
Containing in itself all sweetness.
Tr. by The St. Ann Choir, directed by William Mahrt

O sacred communion meal, in which Christ takes form for us;
Renewing here the memory of His passion holy.
Minds grow full of charity;
And a glory yet to come unto us is granted.
Alleluia.

O sveta gozbo na kojoj se Krist blaguje,
slavi se spomen muke njegove,
duša se napunja milosti
i daje nam se zalog buduće slave
