Panis Angelicus - Lambillotte



Panis angelicus  The bread of the angels
Fit panis hominumbecomes the bread of man;
Dat panis coelicus  the bread of heaven
Figuris terminum:  is given a bounded form.
O res mirabilis!  O wondrous thing!
Manducat Dominum  The poor, the slave and the humble man
Pauper, servus et humilis.  feed on their lord.

Te trina Deitas, Of you, threefold and
Unaque poscimus, one God, we ask:
Sic nos tu visita, Come to visit us
Sicut te colimus; as we worship you;
Per tuas semitas lead us on your paths
Duc nos quo tendimus, to where we want to go:
Ad lucem quam inhabitas. to the light in which you dwell.
