Panis Angelicus

1 min

Thus Angels' Bread is made

the Bread of man today:

the Living Bread from heaven

with figures dost away:

O wondrous gift indeed!

The poor and lowly may

upon their Lord and Master feed.

Thee, therefore, we implore,

O Godhead, One in Three,

so may Thou visit us

as we now worship Thee;

and lead us on Thy way,

that we at last may see

the light wherein Thou dwellest aye. Amen.

Panis angelicus

fit panis hominum;

dat panis caelicus

figuris terminum:

O res mirabilis!

Manducat Dominum

pauper, servus et humilis.

Te trina Deitas

unaque poscimus:

sic nos tu visita,

sicut te colimus;

per tuas semitas

duc nos quo tendimus,

ad lucem quam inhabitas. Amen.
