O Sion, Loda Il Salvatore (sequencia Lauda Sion, Festa de Corpus Christi)

O Zion, praise the Savior
and sing with joy to your Shepherd,
with strength and jubilation we sing to Him,
to Christ the Redeemer of the nations,
who gives his Body to the world
and saves every man with his Blood.

O living Bread that gives life,
you are a gift of love to your Church;
gathered together at the supper
you gave your body to the apostles.
We renew the memorial
and receive your gift of grace.

You are the new Passover, the new law
that fulfills the ancient mysteries.
Reality dispels the shadow,
the light now illuminates every darkness;
the sign of love is revealed,
the mystery of salvation shines.

At your command obediently
we consecrate the bread and wine.
For us, certainty lies in faith:
the bread is transformed into true flesh,
the wine is changed into blood;
you do not see, but faith confirms it.

Mystery of sublime realities
in the sign that appears it hides:
you eat flesh, drink blood
but Christ is present in every species.
He is not divided nor broken,
he is all in the whole and in the fragment.

O Good Shepherd, true bread,
Jesus have mercy on your Church.
Defend and nourish your brothers
and guide them to the land of the living.
Sitting at the table in your heaven
we will enjoy the joy of your saints.
Amen.
