Playing this now for my 100 year old mom. She majored in Latin at St Benedicts in MN, and really enjoyed listening to this beautiful offering. She has significant dementia now, yet responds to this. Thank you for touching her, and bringing some comfort to her confusing world! God bless you all!
My grandma died in August, 2022. Some months before, I realized she had memorized the Tantum Ergo when she was a child as she followed me up. She had had some Latin lessons back then, but, she would recall regretfully, her teacher had to move elsewhere.
English translation: 1, The banners of the King go forth, the mystery of the Cross shines, by which our life bore death and by death gave us life. 2. Which was pierced by the sharp point of the lance, from the stain of sin to wash us, shedding water and blood. 3. Now is fulfilled what was foretold by David in his faithful hymn, saying to thenations: God has reigned from a tree. 4. O tree, fair and radiant, with royal purple adorned, chosen with thy worthy boughs to touch such sacred limbs. 5. O blessed tree, from whose branches hung the redemption of the world; thou, from whom his body hangs, dost snatch from hell its prey. 6. Hail, O Cross, our only hope! At this Passiontide, [In this thy triumphant glory,] increase grace tothe just and blot out the sin of the wicked. 7. Thee, holy Trinity, fount of salvation, let every spirit praise. To whom the victory of the Cross thou givest, give also its prize.
I remember as a 12 year old finding out about this hymn. The lyrics stuck to my head the translation was a little different but still beautiful it went. Abroad the regal banners fly now shines the crosses mystery Upon it life did death endure And yet by death did life procure Who wounded with a dire full spear Did purposely to wash us clear From stain of sin Pour out a flood of Precious water mixed with blood
Blessed Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Sept 14 each year). 1 Peter 1:18-19: "Remember, the ransom that was paid to free you from the useless way of life your ancestors handed down was not paid in anything corruptible, neither in silver nor gold, but in the precious blood of a lamb without spot or stain, namely Christ." ℣. This sign of the cross will appear in the heavens. ℟. When the Lord will come as judge.

Dear singers, I listened to all of your chants. Very nice! However, might I suggest singing all your chants at a slightly higher tone; switching from chest register to head register. - a retired cathedral choirmaster and organist.
I respect your expert opinion and, at the same time, would not like a higher tone on this chant song. I have sung in church choirs and know what you talk about. Gregorian Chant is much more a chant of the heart not the head.

Abroad the regal banners fly
now shines the crosses mystery
Upon it life did death endure
And yet by death did life procure
Who wounded with a dire full spear
Did purposely to wash us clear
From stain of sin
Pour out a flood of
Precious water mixed with blood
Thank you!
