Lyrics:

Panis angelicus
fit panis hominum.
Dat panis caelicus
figuris terminum.
O res mirabilis!
Manducat Dominum
pauper, servus et humilis.

Translation:
The bread of the angels
becomes the bread of mortals.
The bread of heaven
puts an end to prefigurations.
O wondrous thing!
The poor, the servant and the humble
feed on their Lord.
