Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui:

Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio. Amen.

Pange, lingua ‑ incl. Tantum ergo

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the Latin

 ... 

Dit groot teken, heil voor velen,
Laat ons eren nederig
En de oude rituelen
Wijken voor het nieuwe zicht.
Laat geloof nu mededelen
Wat buiten de zinnen ligt.

De Verwekker, de Verwekte
Geef Hun lof en jubeling,
Heil en hulde, al 't perfecte
Zij hun deel, en zegening;
Geest van beiden, de Volstrekte,
Voor Hem ook die lofprijzing. Amen.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 5-6 of the original text.

Deze herdichting is gebaseerd op de Gregoriaanse melodie. Het 'Tantum ergo', dat meestal als zelfstandige hymne gecomponeerd is en gezongen wordt, maakt deel uit van de hymne 'Pange, lingua'; het omvat daarvan alleen de laatste twee strofen.
