A great pleasure of my life was singing this as part of a very good ensemble. Very prayerful and hypnotic.
Ave verum corpus
natum de Maria Virgine
Vere passum, immolatum
in cruce pro homine
Cuius latus perforatum unda fluxit
sanguine
Esto nobis praegustatum mortis in examine
O Jesu dulcis, o Jesu pie, o Jesu fili Mariae
Hail true body; that was born
of the Virgin Mary,
That truly suffered and was sacrificed
on the Cross for all,
From whose pierced side
flowed flowed blood and water;
Be for us a foretaste (a sample)
of your justice and mercy.
O sweet and gentle Jesus, son of Mary.
