Ecce panis angelorum by Oscar Santos — Lyrics
11. Ecce panis Angelorum,
Factus cibus viatorum,
Vere panis filiorum,
Non mittendus canibus!
In figuris praesignatur,
Cum Isaac immolatur,
Agnus Paschae deputatur,
Datur manna patribus.
12. Bone pastor, panis vere,

About Ecce panis angelorum
Oscar Santos sets a profound Latin text on the Eucharist. The words reflect on Christ as the Bread of Angels, becoming food for pilgrims and children of God, not to be cast aside. The text contrasts this divine sustenance with Old Testament types: Isaac's sacrifice, the Paschal Lamb, and the manna given to the Israelites. The second part addresses Christ as the Good Shepherd and true bread, imploring Him to nourish, protect, and allow us to see Him in the land of the living. This sacred motet for SATB voices is suitable for services focusing on the Blessed Sacrament, drawing deeply on eucharistic themes.
