Beth Nielsen Chapman - Ave Verum Corpus lyrics

rate me

Ave, ave verum corpus

natum de Maria Virgine,

Vere passum immolatum

in Cruce pro homine,

Cujus latus perforatum

unda fluxit et sanguine,

Esto nobis praegustatum

in mortis examine

in mortis examine.

Translation:

Hail, true body,

born of the Virgin Mary

Truly suffered,

died on the cross for mankind:

From who's pierced side

flowed water and blood!

Be for us a foretaste

of death in the last hour!

O gentle Jesus!

O holy Jesus!

O Jesus, Son of Mary!
