Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus, with Leonard Bernstein leading the Chor und Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, in a 1990 recording.
- Ave verum corpus natum
- de Maria Virgine,
- vere passum, immolatum
- in cruce pro homine,
- cuius latus perforatum
- unda fluxit et sanguine,
- esto nobis praegustatum
- in mortis examine.
Or, if you prefer the translation:
- Hail, true Body,
- Born of the Virgin Mary,
- Truly suffered, immolated
- On the Cross for man,
- Whose pierced side
- Flowed with water and blood,
- Let it be for us a foretaste [of heaven]
- In the trial of death.
