Tantum Ergo

The beautiful adoration hymn, "Tantum Ergo" (Down in Adoration Falling / Let us bow in Adoration) sung at the benediction of the evening prayers during the "Days in the Diocese" of Bathurst Diocese in Australia prior to the World Youth Day (WYD) at Sydney (July 15-20, 2008) to the accompaniment of the organ.



The words:

Latin text
Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui:
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.

Genitori, Genitoque
Laus et jubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.
Amen.
