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