Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:Bread of angels we receive you, with us now abide.
Precious Jesus, manna of ages, with us now reside.
Panis angelicus, fit panis hominum,
dat panis caelicus figuris terminum.
2. Cup of mercy overflowing, fill us with your grace;
wine of passion O son begotten we flee to your embrace.
Ores mirabilis man ducat Dominum,
Pauper, Pauper, servus, et humilis
3 Word incarnate, dwell within us; pierce our hardened hearts.
Tender Jesus, love so gentle, never let us part.
Te trina Deitas unaque, poscimus,
sic nos tu visita, sicut te colimus
4 Though unworthy, we received you, sacrament divine.
Bread of angels, accept our praises, let your glory shine!
Per tuas semitas duc nos quo tendimus,
lucem, ad lucem quam in habitas.
