Ave Verum Corpus
Ave verum Córpus nátum
de María Vírgine:
Vére pássum, immolátum
in Crúce pro hómine.
Cújus látus perforátum
flúxit áqua et sánguine:
Esto nóbis prægustátum
mórtis in exámine.
O Jésu dúlcis !
O Jésu píe !
O Jésu fíli Maríæ

Hail to Thee! true Body
sprung From the Virgin
Mary's womb!
The same that on the cross
was hung And bore for man
the bitter doom.
Thou whose side was
pierc'd, and flow'd Both
with water and with blood;
Suffer us to taste of Thee In
our life's last agony.
O Jesu sweet!
O loving one!
O Jesu, Mary's Son!
