“Pange Lingua Gloriosi” — Tantum Ergo Sacramentum (Gregorian chant)

O so beautiful a ransoming...

Pange, lingua, gloriósi
córporis mystérium
sanguinísque pretiósi
quem in mundo prétium
fructus ventris generósi
Rex effúdit géntium.


Of the glorious Body telling,
I my toungue, it’s mysteries sing,
And the Blood, all price excelling,
Which the world’s eternal King,
In a noble womb once dwelling.
Shed for the worlds ransoming.
