Iesu, Panis Vitae, Donum Patris.
Iesu, Fons Vitae, Fons Vitae Aquae.
Cibus et potus noster, cibus et potus noster
in itinere, in itinere ad domum Dei.
Mula sa lupa, sumibol kang masigla,
matapos kang yurakan ng mga masasama.
Sumilang ang liwanag ng mga nawawala,
Tinapay ng Buhay, Pagkain ng dukha. (REF)
Jesus, Food divine, be our strength each day,
so we don’t tire as we witness to your love and care
to those in greater need, both near and far away.
May we lead them back to you, all those who’ve gone astray. (REF)
En la vida, Jesu?s, sea nuestro Consuelo.
Sea nuestro Amigo y Compan?ero.
Siempre podamos responder a su Llamada.
Siempre dispuesto a hace?r tu Volunta?d. (REF)
DESCANT
Christo Regi Deo nato per Mariam nobis dato.
Merito resonet vere laus, honor, et gloria.
