Panis Angelicus - Translation
The Very Angels' Bread
(1)
The very Angels' Bread
Doth food to men afford;
The types have vanished,
Remains the Truth adored:
O wonderous mystery
Their banquet is the Lord
The poor and lowly, bond and free.
(2)
O God forever blest,
O Three in One, we pray:
Visit the longing breast
Enter this house of clay,
And lead us through the Night
Unto the perfect Day
Where dwellest Thou in endless light.
