+JMJ+This week, the Gospel at Mass is the discourse on the Bread of Life. Therefore, I have decided to post yet another Eucharist hymn, "Ave Verum Corpus."
Latin:
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.
O Iesu dulcis!
O Iesu pie!
O Iesu fili Mariae.
English:
Hail, true body,
born of the Virgin Mary:
Truly suffered,
died on the cross for mankind:
From who 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!

Thank you for posting this! My parents sing in the choir and often sing hymns in latin. Your post brought back a memory of a beautiful song, so thank you!
