Tantum ergo Sacramentum Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum Novo cedat ritui:
Præstet fides supplementum Sensuum defectui.
Genitori, Genitoque Laus et Jubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque Compar sit laudatio. Amen.
Translation:
Hence so greatly the Sacrament Let us venerate with heads bowed
And let the old practice Give way to the new rite;
Let faith provide a supplement For the failure of the senses.
​To the Begetter and the Begotten Be praise and jubilation,
Hail, honor, virtue also, And blessing too:
To the One proceeding from Both Let there be equal praise. Amen.
