Franck: Mass, Op. 12, FWV 61: Panis Angelicus - Libera, Сезар Франк

Fit panis hominum

Dat panis coelicus

Figuris terminum

O res mirabilis

Manducat Dominum

Pauper, pauper

Servus et humilis

Heavenly bread

That becomes the bread for all mankind

Bread from the angelic host

That is the end of all imaginings

Oh, miraculous thing

This body of God will nourish

Even the poorest

The most humble of servants

Even the poorest

The most humble of servants

Translate

Bread of Angels,

made the bread of men;

The Bread of heaven

puts an end to all symbols:

A thing wonderful!

The Lord becomes our food:

poor, a servant, and humble.

We beseech Thee,

Godhead One in Three

That Thou wilt visit us,

as we worship Thee,

lead us through Thy ways,

We who wish to reach the light

in which Thou dwellest.

Amen.
