Narrator: Mrs. Lebach now sings "Panis Angelicus"

Panis angelicus
fit panis hominum;
Dat panis cœlicus
figuris terminum:
O res mirabilis!
Manducat Dominum
Pauper, Pauper, servus et humilis.

Panis angelicus
fit panis hominum;
Dat panis cœlicus
figuris terminum:
O res mirabilis!
Manducat Dominum
Pauper, Pauper, servus et humilis.
Pauper, Pauper, servus et humilis.

Translation:

Bread of the Angels
Is made bread for mankind;
Gifted bread of Heaven
Of all imaginings the end;
Oh, thing miraculous!
This body of God will nourish
the poor, the poor, the servile, and the humble.
the poor, the poor, the servile, and the humble.
