Hail to Thee, true Body.
Hail to Thee, true Body, sprung
From the Virgin Mary's womb;
The same that on the Cross was hung,
And bore for man the bitter doom.
Thou whose side was pierc'd and flow'd,
Both with water and with blood;
Suffer us to taste of Thee,
In our life's last agony.
O kind, O loving One,
O sweet Jesu, Mary's Son!
