Sequência de Corpus Christi

Earth, rejoice with joy, praise your shepherd and guideTerra, exulta de alegria, louva teu pastor e guia
With your hymns, your voiceCom teus hinos, tua voz
As much as you can, as much as you dareTanto possas, tanto ouses
Do not rest in praising himEm louvá-lo não repouses
Your praise always falls shortSempre excede o teu louvor

Today the Church invites youHoje a Igreja te convida
To the living bread that gives life, come celebrate with herAo pão vivo que dá vida, vem com ela celebrar
This bread, may the world believeEste pão, que o mundo creia
By Jesus, in the holy supperPor Jesus, na santa ceia
It was given to those he choseFoi entregue aos que escolheu

Let us sing our jubilationNosso júbilo cantemos
Let us manifest our loveNosso amor manifestemos
For our hearts overflowPois transborda o coração
How solemn the feastQuão solene a festa
The day, which of the Holy EucharistO dia, que da santa Eucaristia
Reminds us of its institutionNos recorda a instituição

New King and new tableNovo Rei e nova mesa
New Passover and royaltyNova Páscoa e realeza
The Passover of the Jews has passedFoi-se a páscoa dos judeus
The old people were shadowsEra sombra o antigo povo
The old gives way to the newO que é velho cede ao novo
The night flees, the light arrivesFoge a noite, chega a luz

What Christ did at the supperO que o Cristo fez na ceia
He commands the Church that surrounds himManda à Igreja que o rodeia
To repeat it until he returnsRepeti-lo até voltar
We know his commandSeu preceito conhecemos
Let us consecrate bread and winePão e vinho consagremos
For our salvationPara a nossa salvação
