THE BLESSED SACRAMENT ANGE lingua gloriosi Corporis Mysterium, Sanguinisque pretiosi, Quem in mundi pretium, Fructus ventris generosi, Rex effudit gentium. Nobis datus, nobis natus Ex intacta Virgine, Et in mundo conversatus Sparso verbi semine, Sui moras incolatus Miro clausit ordine. In supreme nocte ccenze Recumbens cum fratri- bus, Observata lege plene Cibis in legalibus, Cibum turbe duodenze Se dat suis manibus. Verbum caro, verum, panem Yi ING, my tongue, the SAVIOUR'S glory, Of his Flesh the mys- tery sing; Of the Blood, all price exceeding, Shed by our immortal King, Destin'd, for the world's redemption, From a noble womb to spring. Of a pure and spotless Virgin Born. for us oh earth below, He, as Man with man conversing, Stay’d, theseedsof truth to sow; Then Heclos'd insolemn order Wondrously his life of woe. Onthenight of that Last Supper, Seated with his chosen band, He, the paschal victim eating, First fulfils the Law’s command; Then as food to all his brethren Gives himself with his own hand. Word made Flesh, the bread of nature Verbo carnem efficit: Fitque Sanguis CHRISTI merum, Et si sensus deficit: Ad firmandum cor sin- cerum Sola fides sufficit. ANTUM ergo Sa- cramentum Veneremur cernui: Et antiquum documen- tum Novo cedat ritui: Prestet fides supplemen- tum Sensuum defectui. Genitori, Genitoque Laus et jubilatio, Salus, honor, quoque Sit et benedictio: Procedenti ab utroque Compar sit laudatio. Amen
