Quod in Coena Lyrics

1. Quod in coena Christus gessit,

Faciendum hoc expressit,

In sui memoriam,

Docti sacris institutis,

Panem vinum, insalutis,

Consecramus hostiam.

2. Dogma datur Christianis

Quod in carnem transit panis

Et vinum in sanguinem.

Quod non capis, quod non vides,

Animosa firmat fides,

Praeter rerum ordinem.

3. Sub diversis speciebus

Signi tantum et non rebus

Laetent res eximiae.

Caro cibus, sanguis potus;

Manet tamen Christus totus,

Sub utaque species.

4. Sumunt boni sumunt mali,

Sorte tamen inaequali,

Vitae, vel interitus.

Mors est malis, vita bonis;

Vide paris sumptionis

Quam sit dispar exitus.
