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.
