Casa del pan
¡En el nuevo Templo
venid a mirar
que son Pan las piedras
y Piedras es el Pan!
¡Ay, ay, ay, ay!
Si allá en el Desierto
rehusó transformar
para su sustento
las piedras en pan,
acá, para el nuestro,
quiso disfrazar
la Piedra, que es Cristo,
en Pan substancial.
En sus nuevas Aras
nos quiere mostrar
que Él es de su Templo
la Piedra angular,
y que, como quiere
dárnosla en manjar,
por sustento Miel
de Piedra nos da.
House of bread
To the new Temple
come all and find
how its stones are made Bread
and its Bread made of Stone.
Ay, ay, ay, ay!
If there in the Desert
He refused to transform
stones into bread for
His sustenance,
Here, for our own,
He saw fit to conceal
the foundation, which is Christ,
in the Bread of His Substance.
Now on this, His new altar,
to us He reveals,
that He is of His Temple
the cornerstone,
and since he would sustain
us with a delicacy,
the sweetness he feeds us
is a Honey of Stone.
