Hail, true Body, born of Mary

Verse 1

Hail, true Body, born of Mary, by a wondrous virgin-birth. Thou who on the Cross wast offered to redeem the sons of earth;

Verse 2

thou whose side became a fountain pouring forth thy precious blood, give us now, and at our dying, thine own self to be our food.

Chorus

O sweetest Jesu, O gracious Jesu, O Jesu, blessèd Mary's Son.
