LYRICS
O sacrum convivium!
in quo Christus sumitur:
recolitur memoria passionis eius:
mens impletur gratia:
et futurae gloriae nobis pignus datur.
O sacred banquet!
in which Christ is received,
the memory of His Passion is renewed,
the mind is filled with grace,
and a pledge of future glory to us is given.
