Sequence on the Feast of Corpus Christi and throughout the octave. It was written by Saint Thomas Aquinas (1227-1274). About 20 translations are in existence. The one given in Britt is by Monsignor Henry; the tenth verse reads: <\/p>\n
When at last the Bread is broken,<\/p>\n
Doubt not what the Lord hath spoken:<\/p>\n
In each part the same love token,<\/p>\n
The same Christ, our hearts adore:<\/p>\n
For no power the Thing divideth –<\/p>\n
‘Tis the symbols He provideth,<\/p>\n
While the Saviour still abideth<\/p>\n
Undiminished as before. <\/p>\n

A German translation was made of it by the monk John of Salzburg (1366-1396), beginning with the words Lob, O Syon, deinen Schpfer. We know of no English translation.
