Panis Angelicus

Cesar Franck

Panis angelicus fit panis hominum;
Dat panis coelicus figuris terminum:
O res mirabilis! Manducat Dominum
Pauper, servus et humilis.

Te trina Deitas unaque poscimus:
Sic nos tu visita, sicut te colimus;
Per tuas semitas duc nos quo tendimus,
Ad lucem quam inhabitas.

(Translation: The bread of angels becomes the bread of men; the heavenly bread puts an end to earthly forms. O wondrous thing! The poor, the servant, and the humble eat of the Lord. We beseech Thee, Threefold God, as one: visit us, as we worship Thee; lead us by Thy paths to where we seek to go, to the light in which Thou dwellest.)
