Written by St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) for the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, this hymn is considered the most beautiful of Aquinas' hymns and one of the great seven hymns of the Church. The rhythm of the Pange Lingua is said to have come down from a marching song of Caesar's Legions: "Ecce, Caesar nunc triumphat qui subegit Gallias." Besides the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, this hymn is also used on Holy Thursday. The last two stanzas make up the Tantum Ergo (Down in Adoration Falling) that is used at Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

  • Pange, lingua, gloriosi Córporis mystérium Sanguinísque pretiósi, Quem in mundi prétium Fructus ventris generósi Rex effúdit géntium. Nobis datus, nobis natus Ex intácta Vírgine, Et in mundo conversátus, Sparso verbi sémine, Sui moras incolátus Miro clausit órdine. In supremæ nocte coenæ Recumbens cum frátribus, Observata lege plene Cibis in legálibus, Cibum turbæ duodenæ Se dat súis mánibus.

  • Verbum caro, panem verum Verbo carnem éfficit, Fitque Sanguis Christi merum, Et, si sensus déficit, Ad firmandum cor sincerum Sola fides súfficit. Tantum ergo Sacraméntum, Venerémur cérnui: Et antíquum documentum Novo cedat rítui; Præstet fides suppleméntum Sénsuum deféctui. Genitori Genitóque, Laus et iubilátio; Salus, honor, virtus quoque, Sit et benedíctio; Procedénti ab utróque Compar sit laudátio. Amen.

  • Cante la voz del Cuerpo más glorioso el misterio sublime y elevado, y la Sangre preciosa, que amoroso, en rescate del mundo ha derramado; siendo fruto de un vientre generoso el Rey de todo el orbe más sagrado. Dado para nosotros, y nacido de una Virgen intacta y recogida, conservando en el mundo y esparciendo semilla de palabra que da vida, con orden admirable y estupendo, el tiempo concluyó de su venida.

  • Paxti Christi, amen

  • Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam. Grátias Agámus Dómino Deo Nostro.

  • Benedicat vos fratrem

  • "Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam " One is God. Alive and Genuine.

    Polonia semper fidelis !
