Down in adoration falling,Lo! the sacred Host we hail;Lo! o'er ancient forms departing,Newer rites of grace prevail;Faith for all defects supplying,Where the feeble senses fail.
To the everlasting Father,And the Son who reigns on high,With the Holy Ghost proceedingForth from each eternally,Be salvation, honor, blessing,Might and endless majesty. Amen.

Tantum ergo SacramentumVeneremur cernui:Et antiquum documentumNovo cedat ritui:Praestet fides supplementumSensuum defectui.
Genitori, GenitoqueLaus et iubilatio,Salus, honor, virtus quoqueSit et benedictio:Procedenti ab utroqueCompar sit laudatio. Amen.
