Traditional Roman Catholicism
Tantum Ergo

1 Tántum ergo Sacraméntum
Venerémur cérnui.
Et antíquum documéntum
Nóvo cédat rítui:
Præstet fídes suppleméntum
Sénsuum deféctui.

2 Genitóri Genitóque
Laus et jubilátio
Sálus, hónor, vírtus quóque
Sit et benedíctio:
Procedénti ab utróque
Cómpar sit laudátio.  
Amen.  

English

1 So great a Sacrament, therefore, let
us worship, bowed down; And let the
ancient example give way to a new
rite; Let faith bestow a support to the
defect of the senses.  

2  To the Begetter and the One
Begotten, praise and jubilation (be);
Salvation, honor, power also let there
be, and blessing; To the One
proceeding from (them) both be equal
praise (as well).  
Amen.
