Text: | |||
Venite, populi, venite | |||
de longe venite, | |||
et admiramini gentes. | |||
Venite, populi, venite, | |||
an alia natio tam grandis, | |||
quae habet Deos appropinquantes sibi, | |||
sicut Deus noster adest nobis, | |||
cujus in ara veram praesentiam | |||
contemplamur jugiter per fidem vivam, | |||
an alia natio tam grandis? | |||
O sors cunctis beatior, | |||
O sors sola fidelium, | |||
quibus panis fractio | |||
et calicis communio | |||
est in auxilium. | |||
Eja ergo epulemur | |||
in azymis veritatis et sinceritatis, | |||
eja ergo epulemur | |||
et inebriemur vino laetitiae sempiternae; | |||
an alia natio tam grandis? | |||
Venite, populi, venite. | |||
Translation: | |||
Come, O peoples, come; | |||
come from afar, | |||
and marvel, O races. | |||
Come, O peoples, come; | |||
is there any nation so great | |||
that it has its gods so near to it | |||
as our God is near to us, | |||
whose true presence on his altar | |||
we continually contemplate through living faith: | |||
is there any nation so great? | |||
O fate more blessed than all others, | |||
O fate only of the faithful | |||
for whom breaking bread | |||
and sharing the cup | |||
is a help | |||
Therefore let us feast | |||
on the unleavened bread of truth and sincerity, | |||
Let us feast, therefore, | |||
and become drunk with wine of eternal joy; | |||
is there any nation so great? | |||
Come, O peoples, come. | |||
