Ave Verum Corpus - Lyrics

Latin Version:
Ave verum corpus natum
de Maria Virgine:
vere passum immolatum
in cruce pro homine:
cuius latus perforatum
fluxit aqua et sanguine:
esto nobis praegustatum
in mortis examine
O Jesu dulcis O Jesu pie
O Jesu Fili Mariae
Miserere mei Amen


English Version:
Hail the true body born
of the Virgin Mary:
You who truly suffered and were sacrificed
on the cross for the sake of man
From whose pierced flank
flowed water and blood:
Be a foretaste for us
in the trial of death
O sweet O merciful
O Jesus Son of Mary
Have mercy on me Amen
