PANIS ANGELICUS

Bread of the Angels

Originally written in Latin

by St. Thomas Aquinas as part of larger hymn,

Sacris solemniis (for the feast of Corpus Christi)

Panis angelicus fit panis hominum; Dat panis cœlicus 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.— Amen.

Bread of the Angels Is made bread for mankind; Gifted bread of Heaven Of all imaginings the end; Oh, thing miraculous! This body of God will nourish the poor, the servile, and the humble. Thee Triune God, We beseech; Do us Thou visit, Just as Thee we worship. By Thy ways, lead us where we are heading, to the light Thou dwellest in. Amen.
