Hail, dear flesh of Christ Sacrificed on the altar of the cross, A victim for our redemption. Make us, redeemed by your bitter Death, to enjoy your glory With you in the clear light. Hail the Word, incarnate From the virgin Mary, The living bread of angels, The health and hope of the sick, The cure for sinners. Hail, o body of Jesus Christ which descended from heaven and redeemed the people ; which hung on the cross. O good Jesus, fount of mercy, The praise of angels, The glory of the saints, The hope of sinners, Have mercy on us. Hail light of the world, word of the father, true sacrifice, Living flesh, wholly God, true man. Hail, source of our creation, Hail, price of our redemption, Hail, provision for our pilgrimage, Hail, comfort of our waiting, Hail, safety of our salvation, You who are sacrificed here For us and who are sanctified, Help our days to be peacefully organised And us to be numbered in the flock of your chosen ones. Good Jesus, have mercy on us.
