Ave verum corpus

by James Last

on Christmas Classics (1979)

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
