Panis angelicus
fit panis hominum; Dat panis cœlicus figuris terminum: O res mirabilis! Manducat Dominum pauper, servus et humilis. |
Thus Angels' Bread is made
the Bread of man today: the Living Bread from heaven with figures dost away: O wondrous gift indeed! the poor and lowly may upon their Lord and Master feed. |

When allocating voices, put higher voices (S/T) on the upper part and lower voices (A/B) on the lower part.
