Pange lingua gloriosi
Corporis mysterium
Sanguinisque pretiosi
Quem in mundi pretium
Fructus ventris generosi
Rex effudit gentium.

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
Comparsit laudatio. Amen.

English translation:'
Sing, my tongue, the mystery
of the glorious body and
the precious blood
that was shed to redeem the world,
by the child of a generous woman,
the king of all people.

Let us therefore revere
this great sacrament,
and let old forms of worship
give way to the new;
let our inadequate senses
find support in faith.

To the Father and the Son,
praise and glory,
greeting, honour, power
and blessing be given;
and may the Spirit proceeding
from both share in their praise. Amen.
