Verse 1:
G#G#             C#C#
The Word descending from above
               G#G#
Never to leave His Father’s side
  F minorFm          C#C#
And going forth to do His work
  G#G#             D#D#
He reached the evening of His life
  G#G#          C#C#
By false disciple who betrayed
             G#G#
To foemen for his blood athirst
  F minorFm             C#C#
Broken, the living bread from Heaven
  G#G#    C#C#    D#D#   G#G#
He gave to His disciples first

Chorus:
G#G#
O salutaris hostia
   D#D#
Quae Caeli pandis ostium,

Da robur, fer auxilium

Uni trinoque Domino

Sit sempiterna gloria,

Nobis donet in patria.

As food at table of the lord
  F minorFm          C#C#
As ransom paid upon the cross
  G#G#   C#C#      D#D#    C#C#
And now he reigns, our great reward
