Pange lingua gloriosi corporis mysterium sanguinisque pretiosi quem in mundi pretium fructus ventris generosi rex effudit gentium | Nobis natus nobis datus ex intacta virgine et in mundo conversatus sparso verbi semine sui moras incolatus miro clausit ordine | In supremae nocte cenae recumbens cum fratribus observata lege plene cibis in legalibus cibum turbae duodenae se dat suis manibus | Verbum caro panem verum verbo carnem efficit fitque sanguis Christi merum et si sensus deficit ad firmandum cor sincerum sola fides sufficit | Tantum ergo sacramentum veneremur cernui et antiquum documentum novo cedat ritui praestet fides supplementum sensuum defectui | Genitori genitoque laus et jubilatio salus honor virtus quoque sit et benedictio procedenti ab utroque compar sit laudatio

Notes:
written by Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) for Corpus Christi; differs from Pange lingua gloriosi for Passion Sunday (cf. 008367 and 008367.1)
Notes:
The 1632 Urban VIII hymn revision is identical to this version and so shares this Cantus ID. Note the following differences:"datus" and "natus" are in reverse order in stanza 2.
