Introduction
- Snowfields rest before me, all life gone unto their silent sleep.
Here I face the frigid wind, do walk alone, do see my journey stretch afar, the road before me clear.
[Winter Absolution]. Cleansed will be the world awash in longed warmth and radiant light, till the day all low voices called sorrow quiet.
Lyrics[]
Oh Pange, Oh Pange lingua redemptio.
De mean carem, Carem mysterium.
Sanguinisque pretiosi mei.
Praesertim quae, Quae mi-hi imortale.
Oh fructus, Oh fructus ventris generosi.
Rex effúdit géntium.
Oh Pange, Oh Pange lingua redemptio. [×3]
Tantum ergo sacraméntum.
Venerémur cérnui.
Et antíquum documéntum.
Novo cedat rítue.
Ad firmándum cor sincérum.
Sola fides sufficit.
Oh Pange, Oh Pange lingua redemptio. [×3]
Pange lingua.
Sing, my tongue, redemption.
Of my flesh, the mystery sing.
Of the blood, all price exceeding.
Shed by my immortal being.
Destined for the world's redemption.
From a noble womb to spring.
Sing, my tongue, redemption. [×3]
Therefore, the great sacrament.
Let us reverence, prostate.
And let the old covenant.
Give way to a new rite.
To strengthen a sincere heart.
Faith alone suffices.
Sing, my tongue, redemption. [×3]
