Tantum Ergo

Tantum ergo Sacramentum

Veneremur cernui

Et antiquum documentum

novo cedat ritui

Praestet fides supplementum

Sensum defectui



Genitori, Genitoque

Laus et jubilatio

Salus, honor, virtus quoque

Sit et benedictio

Procedenti ab utroque

Compar sit laudatio. A-men



English translation:



Thus, a so important sacrament

we would bended adore.

And the Old Testament

transfers into the new solemnity

It is a supplement to the believers,

to a flagged spirit.



To the Creator and his creation

be praise and joy,

hail and honor, perfectness too

and blessings.

Proceeding from both sides,

the loved one must be praised. Amen.
