Motet: Ave verum corpus - Byrd
Text:
Ave verum corpus,
natum de Maria Virgine:
vere passum, immolatum
in cruce pro homine:
Cuius latus perforatum
unda fluxit sanguine.
Esto nobis praegustatum,
in mortis examine.
O dulcis! O pie!
O Jesu, fili Mariae.
Miserere mei. Amen.
Translation:
Hail to the true body,
born of the Virgin Mary,
who truly suffered, sacrificed
on the cross for mankind;
from whose pierced side
flowed both water and blood.
Be for us a foretaste
at the hour of our death:
O sweet, O merciful,
O Jesus, son of Mary,
have mercy on me. Amen.
