Lyrics: 

O memoriale mortis Domini!Panis vivus, vitam præstans homini!
Præsta meæ menti de te vívere, Et te illi semper dulce sapere.

Pie Pelicane, Jesu Domine, Me immundum munda tuo sanguine.  Amen

Translated Lyrics: 
O memorial of our Lord's death! Living bread that gives life to man,
Grant my soul to live on you, And always to savor your sweetness.

Lord Jesus, Good Pelican, wash me clean with your blood. Amen
