Latin text
Anima Christi sanctifica me
Corpus Christi salva me
Sanguis Christi inebria me
Aqua lateris Christi lava me
Passio Christi conforta me
O bone Iesu exaudi me
Ne permittas me separari a Te
Ab hoste maligno defende me
In hora mortis voca me
et pone me iuxta Te
ut cum angelis tuis laudem Te
in sæcula sæculorum
Amen
English translation
Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, intoxicate me
Water from the side of Christ, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Permit me not to be separated from Thee
From the malicious enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
And place me at Thy side
That I may praise Thee with Thy angels
For ever and ever.
Amen.
