Panis angelicus

Panis angelicus是中世紀經院哲學神學家多馬．亞奎拿Thomas Aquinas的作品，談及聖餐，今次在主餐時獻唱(只唱第一節)是很特別的；雖然經院哲學的神學並未被改教家全面接受(尤其是馬丁．路德)，而天主教對聖餐那種“化體說”的錯誤教導亦是更正教所斷然拒絕的－－但如果英文翻譯無誤的話，詩歌本身是讚頌耶穌基督謙卑地道成肉身如天上的嗎哪賜給世人~~
Panis angelicus也許是一次特別的體會，未知崇拜主席如何引介呢??

Panis angelicus fit panis hominum;
The Bread of Angels becomes the bread of men;
Dat panis coelicus figuris terminum:
The Bread of heaven ends all prefigurations:
O res mirabilis!
What wonder!
Manducat Dominum. Pauper, servus et humilis.
a poor and humble servant consumes him, the Lord.

Te trina Deitas unaque poscimus:
We beg of You, God, One in Three
Sic nos tu visita, sicut te colimus;
that you visit us, as we worship You.
Per tuas semitas duc nos quo tendimus,
By your ways, lead us who seek
Ad lucem quam inhabitas.
the light in which You dwell.

Amen.
Amen.
