Josquin's "Pange lingua" chant was originally intented as a hymn for the feast of Corpus Christi. This chant was a late work, perhaps his last mass-setting, not published until after his death in 1539 (Peter Philips, 1986, 1993).

Pange lingua gloriosi corporis mysterium sanguinisque pretiosi, quem in mundi pretium fructus ventris generosi Rex effudit gentium   Obis datus, nobis natus ex intacta Virgine et in mundo conversatus, sparso verbi semine, sui moras incolatus miro clausit ordine .......................... Kyrie, eleison. christe, eleison. Dyrie eleison.

O my tongue, proclaim the mystery of the glorious body, and the precious Blood, which the king of all nations, the fruit of a noble womb, poured out to redeem the world.   Given to us, born to us from a pure virgin, having dwelt in the world and scattered the seed of the Word, he concluded in a marvellous manner his life on earth. ................................ Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
