Corpus Christi 2016
Tantum Ergo
One of the great Eucharistic hymns, the powerful words were written by St. Thomas Aquinas.
Therefore we before him bending
This great sacrament revere.
Types and shadows have their ending
For the newer rite is here.
Faith our outward sense befriending
Makes its inward vision clear.
Glory let us give, and blessing
To the Father and the Son.
Honor, thanks, and praise addressing
While eternal ages run.
Ever, too, his love progressing
Who from both with both is won.
Amen.
Tantum ergo sacramentum
Veneremur cernui.
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui.
Præstet fidet supplementum
Sensuum defectui.
Genitori genitoque
Laus et jubilatio.
Honor, salus, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio.
Procedenti ab utroque
Comparsit laudatio.
Amen.
