Hail the true body, born
of the Virgin Mary:
You who truly suffered and were sacrificed
on the cross for the sake of man.
From whose pierced flank
flowed water and blood:
Be a foretaste for us
in the trial of death.
[O sweet, O merciful, O Jesus, Son of Mary.]
[Have mercy on me. Amen.]

Metrical translation I

 

Jesu, Word of God Incarnate,
of the virgin Mary born,
On the cross thy sacred body
for us men with nails was torn
Cleanse us, by thy blood and water
Streaming from thy pierced side;
Feed us with thy body broken,
Now in death's agony!
O Jesu, hear us Son of Mary.

Metrical translation II

 

Jesu, Lamb of God, Redeemer,
born the virgin Mary's Son,
who upon the cross a victim
hast man's salvation won.
From whose side, which man had pierced
flow'd the water and the blood,
by thy sacred body broken,
Be in life and death our food.
O Jesu, be in life and death our food

Ó verdadeiro corpo do Senhor,

Deixai-nos saborear-vos
na hora da nossa morte.

Sejai para nós a primeira prova

Die voor de mensheid

Salut vrai corps né
de la vierge Marie
Qui est mort et a été

de l'heure de notre mort.

Gruß dir, wahrer Leib, geboren
aus Marias reinem Schoß!

Himmelskraft in Sterbensnot!
by Peter Gerloff

Polish.png Polish translation

Bądź pozdrowione prawdziwe Ciało,
Narodzone z Maryi Dziewicy,
Które prawdziwie cierpiało
W ofierze na krzyżu za człowieka.
Jego bok przebity opłynął krwią i wodą,
Abyśmy go zakosztowali podczas sądu w godzinę śmierci.
O Jezu słodki!
O Jezu, łaskawy!
O Jezu synu Maryi.
