Ave Verum Corpus

One of my all time favourites:



Translation:

Hail,true body
born of the Virgin Mary,
Who truly suffered, sacrificed
on the Cross for man,
Whose pierced side overflowed
with water and blood,
Be for us a foretaste
In the test of death.

Simply exquisite. I miss singing in a choir doing such 4-part works. Maybe I should start a revival in the local church choir.
