O sacrum convivium,
in quo Christus sumitur;
recolitur memoria passionis ejus;
mens impletur gratia;
et futurae gloriae nobis pignus datur.
(Alleluia)

O sacrum convivium,
in quo Christus sumitur;
recolitur memoria passionis ejus;

Panem de caelo praestitisti eis
Omnem delectamentum in se haben tem.

O sacred banquet, wherein Christ is received;
the memorial of his passion is renewed;
the soul is filled with grace;
and a pledge of future glory is given to us.
