Lyrics:

Anima Christi, sanctifica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inibria me.
Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.
Passio Christi, conforta me.
O bone Jesu, exaudi me.
Intra tua vulnera absconde me.
Ne permittas me separaria te.
Ab hoste maligno defende me.
In hora mortis meae voca me.
Et jube me venire ad te,
Ut cum tuis laudem te.
In saecula saeculorum. Amen.

English translation:
Soul of Christ, sanctify me;
Body of Christ, heal me;
Blood of Christ, drench me;
Water from the side of Christ, wash me;
Passion of Christ, strengthen me;
Good Jesus, hear me;
In your wounds shelter me;
From turning away keep me;
From the evil one protect me;
In the hour of my death call me;
Into your presence lead me,
To praise you with all your saints
For ever and ever. Amen.

Notes: SATB with Alto, Tenor, and Bass divisi.
