Lyrics:

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.
