Ave Verum Corpus (Hail to Thee, True Body Sprung)

Hail to Thee, true Body, sprung From the Virgin Mary's womb! The same that on the Cross was hung, And bore for man the bitter doom! Thou whose side was pierced, and flowed Both with water and with blood, Suffer us to taste of Thee In our life's last agony. O kind, O loving One! O sweet Jesu, Mary's Son!
