Lyrics:

Panis angelicus Fit panis hominum;
Dat panis coelicus Figuris terminum:
O res mirabilis! Manducat Dominum
Pauper, servus et humilis.

Te trina Deitas, Unaque poscimus,
Sic nos tu visita, Sicut te colimus;
Per tuas semitas Duc nos quo tendimus,
Ad lucem quam inhabitas.
 
Translation:
The bread of the angels becomes the bread of man; 
the bread of heaven is given a bounded form.
O wondrous thing! The poor, the slave 
and the humble man feed on their lord.

Of you, threefold and one God, we ask: 
Come to visit us as we worship you; 
lead us on your paths to where we want to go: 
to the light in which you dwell.

Notes: Instrumental parts for organ, harp and cello on rental
