Venite exultemus Domino,
Jubilemus Deo nostro
Et procidentes adoremus Eum
In salutari altaris convivio.

Hic enim adest suprema majestatis
Altitudo infinita et incarne adoranda
Vera Jesu presentia.

O immensus amor,
O admirabile convivio,
O adorabile misterium.

Vox nulla potest dicere,
Nec mens valat concipere
Qua sit cordis picum ditas,
Dulcedo et suavitas
De carne Jesu credere,
Devotu Christi bilere
In sacro sancta hostia.
Venite ergo, venite omnes
Et admiramini,
Gustate libate coelorum delicias
In mensa Domini.

Note: the first two lines come from Psalm 94 (95) line 1.
