Tantum Ergo

Let us all praise together
The mystery of love
For the price of this world
Was the redeeming blood
Received from Mary
Who gave us the Savior

Received from Mary
Who gave us the Savior

He came into the world through Mary
It was for us that He was born
He taught His doctrine
Lived among men
At the end of His life
He gave us a gift

At the end of His life
He gave us a gift

Observing the Mosaic Law
He gathered with His brothers
It was night, farewell
At a supper, a meal
He gave Himself to the twelve as food
With His own hands

He gave Himself to the twelve as food
With His own hands

The word of the living God
Transformed the wine and the bread
Into His blood and His body
For our salvation
We do not see the miracle
Just faith in the heart

We do not see the miracle
Just faith in the heart

So sublime a sacrament
Let us adore at this altar
For the Old Testament
Gave way to the new
Let faith supplement
Complete the senses

Let faith supplement
Complete the senses

Let us sing to the eternal Father
And to Jesus, the Savior
Let us exalt the Spirit
In the Trinity, eternal love
To the one and triune God
Let us give the joy of praise

To the one and triune God
Let us give the joy of praise
The joy of praise
The joy of praise

Amen
