Sing, O Tongue, the Glorious Mystery

São Tomás de Aquino

Pange Lingua Gloriosi

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

In supremae nocte coenae
Recumbens cum fratribus
Observata lege plene
Cibis in legalibus
Cibum turbae duodenae
Se dat suis manibus

Verbo carnem efficit
Fitque Sanguis CHRISTI merum
Et si sensus deficit
Ad firmandum cor sincerum
Sola fides sufficit

Veneremur cernui
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui

Genitori, Genitoqui
Laus et jubilatio
Salus, Honor, Virtus Quoque
Sit et benedictio
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio

Sing, O Tongue, the Glorious Mystery

Sing, O tongue, the glorious
Mystery of the body
And the precious blood
Which the price of the world
The fruit of the generous womb
The King poured out for the nations

On the night of the Last Supper
Reclining with His brothers
Having fully observed the law
With the prescribed foods
To the twelve a meal
He gives with His own hands

The Word makes flesh
And the wine becomes the true Blood of Christ
And if the senses fail
Faith alone suffices
To strengthen the sincere heart

Let us bow in reverence
And let the ancient custom
Yield to the new rite
Let faith provide a supplement
For the deficiency of the senses

To the Father, and to the Son
Be praise and jubilation
Salvation, honor, and power also
And blessing
To the One proceeding from both
Let there be equal praise
