The Very Angels' Bread
Panis Angelicus

Tr. by Rt. Rev. Msgr. H. T. Henry, Litt.D.
P. Meurers

Slowly

1.
The very Angels' Bread
Doth food to men afford;
The types have vanished,
Remains the Truth adored:
O wonderous mystery
Their banquet is the Lord
The poor and lowly, bond and free.

2.
O God forever blest,
O Three in One, we pray:
Visit the longing breast
Enter this house of clay,
And lead us through the Night
Unto the perfect Day
Where dwellest Thou in endless light.
