Ave Verum

In Latin

Ave Vérum Córpus nátum de María Vírgine
Vere Pássum, immolátum incrúce pro hómine
Cújus látus perforátum flúxit áqua et sánguine
Esto nóbis praegustátum mórtis in exámine.
O Jésu dúlcis!
O Jésu píe!
O Jésu sufíli Maríae.

In Swahili*

Sifu kweli Mwili zaliwa wa Mariamu bikira
Kweli umwa alikufa msalabani kwa wanadamu
Upande wake alipodungwa palitoka maji na damu
Kuwa kwa sisi mfano kuteswa cha kifo.
O Jesu mzuri!
O Jesu apenda!
O Jesu mwana wa Mariamu.

In English

Hail true Body born of Mary the Virgin
Truly suffering, sacrificed on the Cross for man.
Whose side when pierced flowed with water and blood.
Be to us a foretaste in death's angony.
O Jesus sweet!
O Jesus loving!
O Jesus son of Mary!
