This is a weird case of translation by committee--488 was originally in German but translated into English (the German lyrics aren't printed here). This is a very loose translation into Spanish, that skips verse 2 of 488. Now, it's possible that this Spanish is pretty close to the original German and the English is not, but the Spanish and the English aren't too literal versions of each other, other than they're both about the miracle of bread and wine becoming the body and blood of Jesus.
This arrangement also introduces a chorus (with bass echoes!), which is in E major, while the verses are in...I'm not sure what, it has no sharps or flats and ends on the third note (E) of the scale, with a bunch of G-sharps thrown in for fun. But anyway. A lot going on here, at least tags-wise!
