A soothing Gregorian chant to remind us that every spiritual tradition upholds the power of the Divine to wash away darkness, and that truth, gratitude, and love always bring joy and peace.
lyrics
Pange lingua gloriósi Córporis mystérium, Sanguinísque pretiósi, Quem in mundi prétium Fructus ventris generósi Rex effúdit géntium.
Sing, O my tongue, and praise the mystery of the glorious body and the most precious blood, shed to save the world by the King of the nations, the fruit of a noble womb.
Tantum ergo Sacraméntum venerémur cérnui: et antiquum documéntum novo cedat ritui: praestet fides suppleméntum sénsuum deféctui.
In the face of so great a mystery, therefore, let us bow down and worship; let precepts of the Ancient Law give way to the new Gospel rite; and let faith assist us and help us make up for what senses fail to perceive.
Genitóri, Genitóque laus et iubilátio, salus, honor, virtus quoque sit et benedítio: procedéti ab utróque compar sit laudātio. Amen.
Unto the Father and the Son, our praise and our joyful singing; unto whom saving power, honor and might, and every holy blessing; and to the Spirit who proceeds from both, an equal tribute of glory. So be it.
