3. Sing His praise with voice sonorous; Every heart shall hear the chorus Swell in melody sublime: For this day the Shepherd gave us Flesh and blood to feed and save us, Lasting to the end of time. 4. In hac mensa novi Regis Novum pascha novae legis Phase vetus terminat: Iam vetustas novitati, Umbra cedit veritati, Noctem lux eliminat. 4. At the new King’s sacred table, The new law’s new pasch is able To succeed the ancient rite: Old to new its place hath given, Truth has far the shadows driven, Darkness flees before the Light. 5. Quod in cena Christus gessit, Faciendum hoc expressit In sui memoriam: Docti sacris institutis, Panem, vinum in salutis Consecramus hostiam. 5. And as He hath done and planned it— “Do this”—hear His love command it, “For a memory of me.” Learnèd, Lord, in thy own science, Bread and wine, in sweet compliance, As a Host we offer Thee. 6. Dogma datur Christianis, Quod in carnem transit panis, Et vinum in sanguinem: Quod non capis, quod non vides, Animosa firmat fides, Praeter rerum ordinem. 6. Thus in faith the Christian heareth: That Christ’s flesh as bread appeareth, And as wine His precious blood: Though we feel it not nor see it, Living faith that doth decree it All defects of sense makes good. 7. Sub diversis speciebus, Signis tamen et non rebus, Latent res eximiae: Caro cibus, sanguis potus, Manet tamen Christus totus Sub utraque specie. 7. Lo! beneath the species dual (Signs not things), is hid a jewel Far beyond creation’s reach! Though His flesh as food abideth, And His blood as drink—He hideth Undivided under each. 8. A sumente non concisus, Non confractus, non divisus, Integer accipitur: Sumit unus, sumunt mille, Quantum isti, tantum ille, Nec sumptus consumitur. 8. Whoso eateth it can never Break the Body, rend or sever; Christ entire our hearts doth fill: Thousands eat the bread of heaven, Yet as much to one is given: Christ, though eaten, bideth still. 9. Sumunt boni, sumunt mali, Sorte tamen inaequali Vitae, vel interitus: Mors est malis, vita bonis: Vide, paris sumptionis Quam sit dispar exitus! 9. Good and bad, they come to greet Him: Unto life the former eat Him, And the latter unto death; These find death and those find heaven; See, from the same life-seed given, How the harvest differeth! 10. Fracto demum sacramento Ne vacilles, sed memento Tantum esse sub fragmento, Quantum toto tegitur; Nulla rei fit scissura, Signi tantum fit fractura, Qua nec status, nec statura Signati minuitur. 10. When at last the bread is broken, Doubt not what the Lord hath spoken: In each part the same love-token, The same Christ, our hearts adore: For no power the thing divideth— ’Tis the symbols He provideth, While the Saviour still abideth Undiminished as before.
