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.

Bread of Angels, 

made the bread of men; 

The Bread of heaven

puts an end to all symbols:

A thing wonderful!

The Lord becomes our food:

poor, a servant, and humble.

We beseech Thee, 

Godhead One in Three

That Thou wilt visit us,

as we worship Thee,

lead us through Thy ways, 

We who wish to reach the light

in which Thou dwellest.

Amen.
