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

Hail, true Body, born
of the Virgin Mary,
having truly suffered, sacrificed
on the cross for mankind,
from whose pierced side
water and blood flowed:
Be for us a foretaste [of the Heavenly banquet]
in the trial of death!

O sweet Jesus, O holy Jesus,
O Jesus, son of Mary,
have mercy on me. Amen
