Ave Verum Corpus Lyrics

AVE VERUM Corpus
Natum de Maria Virgine,
Vere passum, immolatum
In cruce pro homine,
Cuius latus perforatum
Fluxit aqua et sanguine,
Esto nobis praegustatum
Mortis in examine.

[Translation:]Beth Nielsen Chapman - Ave Verum Corpus - http://motolyrics.com/beth-nielsen-chapman/ave-verum-corpus-lyrics.html

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.
