Panis angelicus fit panis hominum, Dat panis caelicus figuris terminum: O res mirabilis: manducat Dominum Pauper, servus et humilis. Te trina Deitas unaque poscimus, Sic nos tu visita, sicut te colimus: Per tuas semitas duc nos quo tendimus, Ad lucem quam inhabitas. Amen.
C. Franck sets stanza 1

Englenes brød bliver menneskenes brød. Brødet, himmelen giver, gør ende på spekulationerne. Åh, hvilket mirakel: Den fattige, slaven og den ydmyge kan leve af Herren. Treenige gud, vi bønfalder dig, om at besøge os, når vi ærer dig; ad din sti går vi, der stræber mod lyset, som du dvæler i. Amen.
