Tantum ergo sacramentum

Tantum ergo sacramentum
Veneremur cernui;
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui; 
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.

Genitori genitoque
Laus et jubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque,
Sit et benedictio; 
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.

Amen.

by St. Thomas Aquinas (1225?-1274) , from Pange lingua
