Hail to Thee! True Body Sprung (by St. Thomas Aquinas)

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 pierced and flowed

Both with water and with blood;

Suffer us to taste of Thee

In our life's last agony.

O kind, O loving One!

O Jesus, Mary's Son!

Amen.
