Panis angelicus
fit panis hominum;
Dat Panis caelicus
figuris terminum
O res mirabilis!
manducat Dominum
Pauper, Pauper
servus et humilis
Pauper, Pauper
servus, servus et humilis

Translation:
Bread of the Angels
Is made bread for mankind;
Gifted bread of Heaven
Of all imaginings the end;
Oh, thing miraculous!
This body of God will nourish
the poor, the servile, and the humble.

Thee Triune God,
We beseech;
Do us Thou visit,
Just as Thee we worship.
By Thy ways,
lead us where we are heading,
to the light Thou dwellest in.
Amen.


1877 Cesar Franck
