Ave verum corpus Lyrics

Ave Verum Corpus
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Ave ave verum Corpus
natum de Maria Virgine;
vere passum, immolatum
in cruce pro homine:
cujus latus perforatum
fluxit aqua et sanguine:
esto nobis praegustatum
in mortis examine.
in mortis examine.
AVE VERUM CORPUS, K618

Hail, true flesh,
born of the Virgin Mary,
who has truly suffered,
broken on the cross for man;
from whose pierced side
flowed water and blood.
Be for us a foretaste
in the trials of death.
in the trials of death.
