Ave Verum (Gounod)

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
Mortis in examine.
O Jesu dulcis O Jesu Pie,
Jesu, Jesu, fili Mariae
In nobis miserere. Amen.
Translation:
Hail, true body born of the Virgin Mary,
Who truly suffered,
Sacrificed on the Cross for man,
Whose pierced side overflowed with
Water* and blood,
Be for us a foretaste**
In the test of death.
O sweet Jesus, O holy Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
son of Mary. Have mercy on us. Amen.
