Latin:
Pange, lingua, gloriosi
Corporis mysterium,
Sanguinisque pretiosi,
quem in mundi pretium
fructus ventris generosi
Rex effudit Gentium.
--Thomas Aquinas, 13th century
English:
Now, my tongue, the mystery telling,
Of the glorious body sing,
And the blood, all price excelling,
Which all mankind's Lord and King,
In a virgin's womb once dwelling,
Shed for this world's ransoming.
--tr. Edward Caswall, 1861
