In mortem a discípulo
suis tradéndus ǽmulis;
prius in vitæ férculo
se trádidit discípulis.
-
Quibus sub bina spécie
carnem dedit et sánguinem,
ut dúplicis substántiæ
totum cibáret hóminem.
-
Se nascens dedit sócium,
convéscens in edúlium,
se móriens in prétium,
se regnans dat in prǽmium.
-
O salutáris hóstia,
quæ cæli pandis óstium,
bella premunt hostília:
da robur, fer auxílium.
-
Uni trinóque Dómino
sit sempitérna glória,
qui vitam sine término
nobis donet in pátria. Amen.

-
About to be handed, by his own disciple,
to those who envied him, to put him to death,
first he hands himself over
to his disciples, on a dish.
-
To them he gave his flesh and blood
in a dual appearance,
so that with a twofold substance
he might give his entire humanity as food.
-
Arising, he gave his friends,
eating with them,
himself dying as ransom,
he gives himself, reigning, as reward.
-
O offering of salvation,
you open heaven’s gate,
enemies press a hard battle:
grant strength, bring assistance.
-
Eternal glory be
to the Lord one and three,
who gives life without end
in our homeland. Amen.
