Ave verum corpus, natum
De Maria Virgine,
Vere passum, immolatum
In cruce pro homine
Cuius latus perforatum
Fluxit aqua et sanguine :
Esto nobis prægustatum
In mortis examine.
O Iesu dulcis, O Iesu pie,
O Iesu, fili Mariæ.
Miserere mei. Amen
Hail, true Body, born
Of the Virgin Mary,
Who truly suffered, sacrificed
On the cross for man,
Whose pierced side
Overflowed with water and blood :
Be for us a foretaste (of Heaven)
In the test of death !
O sweet Jesus, o gentle,
O Jesus, son of Mary,
Have mercy on me. Amen.
