Ave verum
Hail, true Body born of the Virgin Mary: which truly suffered, was sacrificed on the cross for mankind.
Whose pierced side with Blood and water flowed: be for us a foretaste in the moment of death.
O Jesus kind! O Jesus compassionate! O Jesus, Son of Mary.
Ave verum corpus, natum de Maria Virgine: vere passum, immolatum in cruce pro homine.
Cuius latus perforatum fluxit aqua et sanguine: esto nobis prægustatum mortis in examine.
O Iesu dulcis! O Iesu pie! O Iesu, fili Mariae.
Ave verum Mode VI
