Here is a beautiful recording of the Passiontide hymn Pange, lingua, in the traditional Gregorian setting. This hymn was composed by St Venantius Fortunatus (ca. 530-600), bishop of Poitiers, to celebrate the arrival of a relic of the True Cross which was given by the Byzantine Emperor Justin II to Venantius’ dear friend St Radegund, Queen of the Franks. In the Roman Breviary, it is traditionally divided into two parts, the first of which (five stanzas plus a doxology) is sung at Matins, the second (five more stanzas plus the same doxology) at Lauds. This recording includes the stanzas traditionally sung at Matins, the first two from Lauds, and the doxology once. Venantius also composed the hymn Vexilla Regis, sung at Vespers of Passiontide, for the same occasion. The English translation below is by the Anglican cleric John Mason Neale (1818-66), one of his finest efforts among many.

Pange, lingua, gloriosi Lauream certaminis, Et super Crucis trophaeo Dic triumphum nobilem, Qualiter Redemptor orbis Immolatus vicerit.	Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle Sing the last, the dread affray; O’er the cross, the victor’s trophy, Sound the high triumphal lay: Tell how Christ, the world’s Redeemer, As a victim won the day.
De parentis protoplasti Fraude Factor condolens, Quando pomi noxialis In necem morsu ruit Ipse ignum tunc notavit Damna ligni ut solveret.	God, his Maker, sorely grieving That the first-made Adam fell, When he ate the fruit of sorrow, Whose reward was death and hell, Noted then this wood, the ruin Of the ancient wood to quell.
Hoc opus nostrae salutis Ordo depoposcerat, Multiformis proditoris Ars ut artem falleret Et medelam ferat inde, Hostis unde laeserat.	For the work of our salvation Needs would have his order so, And the multiform deceiver’s Art by art would overthrow, And thence would bring the medicine Whence the insult of the foe.
Quando venit ergo sacri Plenitudo temporis Missus est ab arce Patris Natus orbis conditor, Atque ventre virginali Carne amictus prodiit.	Wherefore, when the sacred fullness Of the appointed time was come, This world’s Maker left his Father, Sent the heav’nly mansion from, And proceeded, God Incarnate, Of the Virgin’s holy womb.
Vagit infans inter arcta Conditus praesepia; Membra pannis involuta Virgo Mater alligat Et Dei manus pedesque Stricta cingit fascia.	Weeps the infant in the manger That in Bethlehem’s stable stands; And his limbs the Virgin Mother Doth compose in swaddling bands, Meetly thus in linen folding Of her God the feet and hands.
Lustra sex qui jam peregit Tempus implens corporis, Sponte libera Redemptor Passioni dedictus, Agnus in Cruce levatur Immaolandus stipite.	Thirty years among us dwelling, His appointed time fulfilled, Born for this, he meets his passion, For that this he freely willed: On the cross the Lamb is lifted, Where his life-blood shall be spilled.
Felle potus ecce languet; Spina, clavi, lancea, Mite corpus perforarunt Unde manat et cruor; Terra, pontus, astra, mundus Quo lavantur flumine.	He endured the nails, the spitting, Vinegar, and spear, and reed; From that holy body broken Blood and water forth proceed: Earth, and stars, and sky, and ocean, By that flood from stain are free.
Sempiterna sit beatae Trinitati gloria, Aeque Patri, Filioque, Par decus Paraclito: Unius Trinique nomen Laudet universitas. Amen.	To the Trinity be glory Everlasting, as is meet; Equal to the Father, equal To the Son, and Paraclete: Trinal Unity, whose praises All created things repeat. Amen.
