Take and eat, take and eat: this is my body

given up for you.

Take and drink, take and drink: this is my blood given up for you

Leonardo da Vinci

PROCESSION TO “PLACE OF DARKNESS”Of the glorious body telling

Oh my tongue its mysteries singAnd the blood all price excellingWhich the world’s eternal KingIn a noble womb once dwelling

Shed for this world’s ransoming

Given for us, for us descendingOf a virgin to proceed

One with us in converse blendingScattered He the gospel seed

Till his sojourn drew to endingWhich He closed in wondrous deed

At the last great supper lyingcircled by his brethern band

meekly with the Law complyingfirst he finished its commandthen immortal food supplying

gave himself with his own hand

Word made flesh by word he makethvery bread his flesh to be

we in wine Christ’s blood partakethand if senses fail to see

faith alone the true heart wakethto behold the mystery

Tantum ergo Sacramentum Therefore we before him bending

Veneremur cernui this great sacrament revere

Et antiquum documentum types and shadows have their ending

Novo cedat ritui for the newer rite is here

Praestet fides supplementum faith our outward sense befriending

Sensuum defectui makes the inward vision clear

Genitori genitoque Glory let us give and blessing

Laus et jubilatio to the Father and the Son

Salus, honor, virtus quoque honour, might and praise addressing

Sit et benedictio while eternal ages run

Procidenti ab utroque ever too his love confessing

Compar sit laudatio who from both with both is one(Written 13th century by St Thomas Aquinas)
