Ave caro Christi cara
Language: Latin
Ave caro Christi cara
Immolata crucis ara,
Redemptionis hostia.
Morte tua nos amara
Fac redemptos luce clara
Tecum frui gloria.
Ave verbum incarnatum
De Maria Virgine,
Panis vivus angelorum,
Salus et spes infirmorum
Medicina peccatorum.
Salve corpus Jesu Christi
Quod de caelo descendisti
Et populum redemisti.
Qui in cruce pependisti.
Iesu bone, fons pietatis,
Laus angelorum,
Gloria sanctorum,
Spes peccatorum,
Miserere nobis.
Salve lux mundi, verbum patris, hostia vera,
Viva caro, Deitas integra, verus homo.
Ave principium nostrae creationis,
Ave pretium nostrae redemptionis,
Ave viaticum nostrae peregrinationis,
Ave solatium nostrae expectationis,
Ave salus nostrae salvationis,
Qui hoc immolaris
Pro nobis et sanctificaris
Iuva dies nostros in pace disponi
Et nos electorum tuorum grege numerari.
Iesu bone, miserere nobis.

Hail, dear flesh of Christ
Language: English  after the Latin
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.
