Munting Alay
By Fr. Nilo Mangusad
(Tagalog)
Paghahanda ng alay ay narito, Poon
Ang alak at tinapay dala sa altar Mo
Anyo’y magiging tunay, dugo Mo’t katawan
Aming tatanggapin ngayon magbibigay-buhay
Paghahanda ng alay ngayon sisim’lan
Ang alak at tinapay ay bebendisyunan
Anyo’y magiging tunay, dugo mo’t katawan
Ito’y aming tatanggapin sa pakikinabang
(English)
We bring unto your table with humble hearts, O, Lord
The bread and wine, the fruits of the land and of the vine
Transformed beneath the hands of Your chosen priest, behold
We shall receive with open hearts, eternal life bestowed.
Gathered now, Your people bringing gifts to Thee
Let us give You worship for Your Sacred Feast
Continuously, we sing You our praise on bended knees
We give You thanks, revere You for Your generosity.
