Panis Angelicus
Religious Music · Other Songs - Religious Music
Fit panis hominum;
Dat panis coelicus
Figuris terminum.
O res mirabilis!
Manducat Dominum
Pauper, pauper.
Servus et humils.
Pauper, pauper,
Servus et humilis.
Heavenly bread that becomes the bread for all mankind;
Bread from the angelic host
That is the end of all imaginings.
Oh, miraculous thing!
This body of God will nourish
Even the poorest,
The most humble of servants.
Even the poorest,
The most humble of servants.
