Pange Lingua Gloriosi
São Tomás de Aquino
Sing, O Tongue, the Glorious Mystery
Sing, O tongue, the glorious
Mystery of the body
And the precious blood
Which the price of the world
The fruit of the generous womb
The King poured out for the nations
On the night of the Last Supper
Reclining with His brothers
Having fully observed the law
With the prescribed foods
To the twelve a meal
He gives with His own hands
The Word makes flesh
And the wine becomes the true Blood of Christ
And if the senses fail
Faith alone suffices
To strengthen the sincere heart
Let us bow in reverence
And let the ancient custom
Yield to the new rite
Let faith provide a supplement
For the deficiency of the senses
To the Father, and to the Son
Be praise and jubilation
Salvation, honor, and power also
And blessing
To the One proceeding from both
Let there be equal praise
