Praise, O Zion, the savior

Praise the prince and shepherd


In hymns and canticles

As much as you are able to do, dare (to do) that much:
Because he is above all praise
Nor are you able to praise him sufficiently

A theme of special praise
Of living and life-giving bread
Is today set before us

Which on the table of the holy supper
To the crowd of 12 of brethren
Was given it is not to be doubted

Praise be full and sounding
Be joyous be distinguished
Jubilations of the mind/soul

Truly the day of solemnity is accomplished
On which is commemorated/reflected upon the first
Institution of his table

On this table of the new King
The new Paschal Lamb of the new law
Put to an end the ancient Paschal Lamb

Newness (supplants) oldness
The truth puts the shadow in flight
The light eliminates the night

What Christ undertook at the supper
Pronouncing this to be repeated
In his own memory

Taught by the sacred institutions
The bread and wine
We consecrate into the host of salvation

The dogma given to Christian
That bread passed into flesh
And wine into blood

What do you not comprehend
What do you not see
Lively faith confirms
Of things beyond ordinary
Under diverse types
In signs only and not in reality (things)
Lie extraordinary things

Flesh (is) food, blood (is) drinkable
Yet Christ remains whole
Under each type

By the recipient not broken up
Not fractured not divided
He is received whole

One received (him), a thousand receive (him)
As much as the former (receives) so much the latter (receives)
(Though) consumed (he is) not diminished

The good receive (him), the bad receive (him)
Although to the unequal fates
Of life or death

Death is to the bad, life to the good
See how of equal consumption
How disparate is the end

When the sacrament is finally broken (abl. abs.)
Dont vacillate (doubt) but remember
There is just as much beneath/within a fragment
As is held is the whole (thing)

No splitting of the thing is made
Only a fracturing of the sign is made
By which neither the status nor the stature
Of the substance signified is diminished.

Behold the bread of angels
Made the food of the wayfarers/pilgrims
The true bread of brethren
Not sent to the dogs

It was predestined in figures
With Isaac immolated
The Paschal Lamb esteemed
Bread (manna) given to the fathers

O good shepherd, true bread
Jesus, have mercy on us
Nourish us, defend us
Make us to see good things
In the land of the living

You, who knows and can do (Ecc.) all things
Who here nourishes us mortals
[Make (us)] there to be your commensurates
Co-heirs and companions
Of the holy citizens
Amen. Alleluia.
