1	Tántum ergo Sacraméntum Venerémur cérnui. Et antíquum documéntum Nóvo cédat rítui: Præstet fídes suppleméntum Sénsuum deféctui.	So great a Sacrament, therefore, let us worship, bowed down; And let the ancient example give way to a new rite; Let faith bestow a support to the defect of the senses.
2	Genitóri Genitóque Laus et jubilátio Sálus, hónor, vírtus quóque Sit et benedíctio: Procedénti ab utróque Cómpar sit laudátio.	To the Begetter and the One Begotten, praise and jubilation (be); Salvation, honor, power also let there be, and blessing; To the One proceeding from (them) both be equal praise (as well).
**	Amen	Amen.
