Ave Verum corpus natum de Maria Virgine.
Vere Passum, immolatum in cruce pro homine.
Cujus latus perforatum fluxit aqua et sanguine.
Esto nobis praegustatum, mortis in examine.
O Jesu dulcis!
O Jesu, pie!
O Jesu, Fili Mariae!
Hail to Thee, true Body sprung from the Virgin's womb.
The same that on the cross was hung and bore for man the bitter doom.
Thou whose side was pierced and flowed both with water and with blood;
Suff us to tase of Thee in our life's last agony.
O kind, O Loving One.
O Jesus, Mary's Son.
