about

The melody of the ancient Laudes cruces attollamus, possibly written for the reception of a fragment of the True Cross at Notre Dame in 1109, was used by Thomas Aquinas for this Corpus Christi sequence.

lyrics

1. Lauda Sion Salvatorem, 
Lauda ducem et pastorem 
In hymnis et canticis. 
Quantum potes, tantum aude, 
Quia maior omni laude, 
Nec laudare sufficis.

2. Laudis thema specialis 
Panis vivus et vitalis 
Hodie proponitur. 
Quem in sacrae mensa coenae 
Turbae fratrum duodenae 
Datum non ambigitur.

3. Sit laus plena, sit sonora; 
Sit iucunda, sit decora 
Mentis iubilatio, 
Dies enim solemnis agitur 
In qua mensae prima recolitur 
Huius institutio.

4. In hac mensa novi Regis 
Novum Pascha novae legis 
Phase vetus terminat. 
Vetustatem novitas, 
Umbram fugat veritas, 
Noctem lux eliminat.

5. Quod in coena Christus gessit, 
Faciendum hoc expressit 
In sui memoriam: 
Docti sacris institutis 
Panem, vinum in salutis 
Consecramus hostiam.

6. Dogma datur Christianis, 
Quod in carnem transit panis 
Et vinum in sanguinem. 
Quod non capis, quod non vides, 
Animosa firmat fides 
Praeter rerum ordinem.

7. Sub diversis speciebus, 
Signis tantum et non rebus, 
Latent res eximiae: 
Caro cibus, sanguis potus, 
Manet tamen Christus totus 
Sub utraque specie.

8. A sumente non concisus, 
Non confractus, non divisus 
Integer accipitur. 
Sumit unus, sumunt mille, 
Quantum isti, tantum ille, 
Nec sumptus consumitur.

9. Sumunt boni, sumunt mali, 
Sorte tamen inaequali, 
Vitae vel interitus. 
Mors est malis, vita bonis, 
Vide paris sumptionis 
Quam sit dispar exitus.

10. Fracto demum sacramento, 
Ne vacilles, sed memento 
Tantum esse sub fragmento, 
Quantum toto tegitur. 
Nulla rei fit scissura, 
Signi tantum fit fractura, 
Qua nec status nec statura 
Signati minuitur.

11. Ecce panis Angelorum, 
Factus cibus viatorum, 
Vere panis filiorum, 
Non mittendus canibus! 
In figuris praesignatur, 
Cum Isaac immolatur, 
Agnus Paschae deputatur, 
Datur manna patribus.

12. Bone pastor, panis vere, 
Jesu, nostri miserere, 
Tu nos pasce, nos tuere, 
Tu nos bona fac videre 
In terra viventium. 
Tu qui cuncta scis et vales, 
Qui nos pascis hic mortales, 
Tuos ibi commensales, 
Cohaeredes et sodales 
Fac sanctorum civium.
