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:

When at last the Bread is broken,

Doubt not what the Lord hath spoken:

In each part the same love token,

The same Christ, our hearts adore:

For no power the Thing divideth -

'Tis the symbols He provideth,

While the Saviour still abideth

Undiminished as before.
