Ave caro Christi, Salve corpus Jesu Christi a 6 by Andrea Rota — Lyrics

Ave caro Christi cara, immolata crucis ara, pro redemptis hostia. Morte tua nos amara fac redemptos luce clara tecum frui gloria. Ave verbum incarnatum, in altari consecratum, Panis vivus angelorum, Salus et spes infirmorum, medicina peccatorum.
