Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina

Ego sum panis vivus,
patres vestri manducaverunt
manna in deserto
et mortui sunt.
Hic est panis de caelo descendens:
si quis ex ipso manducaverit
non morietur.

I am the living bread;
your forefathers ate
manna in the wilderness
and are dead.
This is bread descended from heaven:
If any eat of this bread
they will not die.

John 6:48-50
