Text and translations
Latin text 1 Sacris solemniis juncta sint gaudia (inclita gaudiis), 2 Noctis recolitur coena novissima 3 Post agnum typicum, expletis epulis, 4 Dedit fragilibus corporis ferculum, 5 Sic sacrificium istud instituit, 6 Panis angelicus fit panis hominum; 7 Te, trina Deitas unaque, poscimus, 1 At this our solemn feast let holy joys abound, 2 Remember we that eve when, the Last Supper spread, 3 The typic Lamb consumed, the legal feast complete, 4 He gave them, weak and frail, His flesh, their food to be; 5 So He this sacrifice to institute did will, 6 Thus Angels' bread is made the bread of man today: 7 Thee, therefore, we implore, O Godhead, One in Three, |
