Hail True Body
by Stephen Kirk

Album: Rising

Hail true body, born of virgin Mary
Who having truly suffered
was sacrificed
on the cross for mankind
whose wounded side
flowed with blood and water
We adore you

Oh sweet Jesus
merciful Jesus
Jesus Son of Mary
have mercy on us all

May this be for us a taste of heaven
in the face of earthly death
and may this be
the pledge of our salvation
the hope of glory
We adore Thee

Oh sweet Jesus
merciful Jesus
Jesus Son of Mary
have mercy on us
Oh sweet Jesus
merciful Jesus
Jesus Son of Mary
have mercy on us all
