| Tantum ergo Sacramentum Veneremur cernui: Et antiquum documentum Novo cedat ritui: Praestet fides supplementum Sensuum defectui. Genitori, Genitoque Panem de coelo praestitisti eis. Oremus: Deus, qui nobis sub sacramento mirabili,
passionis tuae memoriam reliquisti: tribue, quaesumus, ita nos corporis
et sanguinis tui sacra mysteria venerari, ut redemptionis tuae fructum
in nobis iugiter sentiamus. Qui vivis et regnas in saecula saeculorum.
Amen. |
Down in adoration falling, Lo! the sacred Host we hail, Lo! oe'r ancient forms departing Newer rites of grace prevail; Faith for all defects supplying, Where the feeble senses fail. To the everlasting Father, Thou hast given them bread from heaven. Let us pray: O GOD, who in this wonderful Sacrament left us a memorial of Thy Passion: grant, we implore Thee, that we may so venerate the sacred mysteries of Thy Body and Blood, as always to be conscious of the fruit of Thy Redemption. Thou who livest and reignest forever and ever. Amen. |
