Original text and translations

Latin text

Caro mea vere est cibus,
et sanguis meus vere est potus.
Qui manducat meam carnem
et bibit meum sanguinem in me manet et ego in illo

English translation Translation supplied by The St. Ann Choir, directed by William Mahrt

My flesh is true food,
and my blood is true drink.
He who eats my flesh
and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him.

German translation

Mein Fleisch ist wahrhaft eine Speise
und mein Blut ist wahrhaft ein Trank.
Wer mein Fleisch ißt
und mein Blut trinkt, bleibt in mir und ich in ihm.
