English Translation

Vamos todos louvar juntos o mistério do amor

Let us all praise together the mystery of love

Pois, o preço deste mundo foi o sangue redentor

For the price of this world was the redeeming blood

Recebido de Maria que nos deu o salvador

Received from Mary who gave us the Savior


Veio ao mundo por Maria, foi por nós que ele nasceu

He came into the world through Mary, it was for us that he was born

Ensinou sua doutrina, com os homens conviveu

He taught his doctrine, lived with men

No final de sua vida um presente ele nos deu

At the end of his life, he gave us a gift


Observando a lei mosaica se reuniu com os irmãos

Observing the Mosaic law, he gathered with his brothers

Era noite, despedida numa ceia, refeição

It was night, farewell in a supper, a meal

Deu-se aos doze em alimento pelas suas próprias mãos

He gave himself to the twelve as food with his own hands


A palavra do Deus vivo transformou o vinho e o pão

The word of the living God transformed wine and bread

No seu sangue, e no seu corpo, para nossa salvação

In his blood and in his body, for our salvation

O milagre nós não vemos, basta fé no coração

We do not see the miracle, just have faith in the heart


Tão sublime sacramento, adoremos neste altar

So sublime sacrament, let us adore on this altar

Pois, o antigo testamento deu ao novo seu lugar

For the old testament gave way to the new

Venha a fé por suplemento, os sentidos completar

Let faith come as a supplement, completing the senses


Ao eterno pai cantemos e a Jesus, o salvador

Let us sing to the eternal Father and to Jesus, the Savior

Ao espírito exaltemos, na trindade eterno amor

Let us exalt the Spirit, in eternal love, the Trinity

Ao Deus uno e trino demos a alegria do louvor

Let us give to the one and triune God the joy of praise
