Tantum Ergo Sacramentum
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
Compar sit laudatio
Amen
Therefore, So Great a Sacrament
Therefore, so great a sacrament
Let us venerate with bowed heads
And let the old document
Give way to the new rite
Let faith provide a supplement
For the deficiency of the senses
To the Father, and the Son
Be praise and jubilation
Salvation, honor, and power too
And blessing
To the one proceeding from both
Let there be equal praise
Amen
