| Ave Verum Corpus
Ave verum corpus, natum de Maria Virgine:
Vere passum, immolatum
in cruce pro homine:
Cujus latus perforatum, unda fluxit
sanguine:
Esto nobis praegustatum, in mortis examine. |

Hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary,
Who has truly suffered,
was sacrificed on the cross for mortals,
Whose side was pierced, whence
flowed water and blood:
Be for us a foretaste (of Heaven), during our
final examining. |
