Ave verum corpus, natum
de Maria virgine.
Vere passum immorlatum
in cruce pro homine.
Cujus latus perforatum
unda fluxit et sanquine
Esto nobis praegustatum
in mortis examine. |
Hail true Body,
born of the Virgin Mary,
Who truly suffered,
offered on the cross for humankind.
From whose pierced side
flowed water and blood
Be for us a foretaste
in the testing of death. |
