Panis Angelicus

As we approach the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ this weekend, here's a beautifiul rendition of Cesar Franck's Panis Angelicus. Below the screen you'll find the lyrics in both Latin and English.

The choral group is St. Philips Boys' Choir of Norbury, UK, featuring soloists Jaymi Bandtock and Sam Harper.



Panis angelicus
The Bread of Angels
fit panis hominum;
becomes the bread of humankind;
Dat panis coelicus
The Bread of heaven
figuris terminum:
ends all prefigurations:
O res mirabilis!
What wonder!
Manducat Dominum
The Lord is consumed
Pauper, servus et humilis
by a poor and humble servant.

Te trina Deitas
You, triune God
unaque poscimus:
we beg of you
Sic nos tu visita,
that you visit us,
sicut te colimus;
as we worship you;
Per tuas semitas
By your ways
duc nos quo tendimus,
lead us who seek
Ad lucem quam inhabitas.
the light in which you dwell.
Amen.
