TEXT and TRANSLATION: Ave verum corpus, natum de Maria Virgine, Vere passum, immolatum in cruce pro homine, Cujus latus perforatum vero fluxit cum sanguine; Esto nobis praegustatum, mortis in examine. O pie, O dulcis Jesu, Fili Mariae. Tu nobis miserere. Amen. Hail, true body, born of Mary Virgin, truly suffering, was sacrificed on the cross for mankind, From whose pierced side flowed with true blood; Be for us a foretaste In our final judgment. O pious, O sweet Jesus, Son of Mary. You have mercy on us. Amen.
