All Angels - Ave Verum Corpus lyrics

Ave Verum Corpus natum

de Maria Virgine.

Vere passum immolatum

in cruce pro homine:

cuius latum perforatum

aqua fluxit et sanguine.

Esto nobis praegustatum

in mortis examine.

(Translation)

Hail, true Body, truly born

of the Virgin Mary mild.

Truly offered, wracked and torn,

on the Cross for all defiled,

from Whose love-pierced, sacred side

flowed Thy true Blood's saving tide:

be a foretaste sweet to me

in my death's great agony
