Ave Verum Corpus Lyrics by Beth Nielsen Chapman
Beth Nielsen Chapman Lyrics
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!
