1. Einleitung

Language: Latin 
Vexilla Regis prodeunt;
fulget Crucis mysterium,
Qua vita mortem protulit
Et morte vitam protulit.

 ... 

Impleti sunt que concinit
David fideli carmine,
dicendo nationibus:
regnavit a ligno Deus. 

 ... 

O Crux ave, spes unica,
hoc Passionis tempore!
piis adauge gratiam,
reisque dele crimina.
Amen.

O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden,
Voll Schmerz und voller Hohn,

Mit höchster Ehr' und Zier,
Jetzt aber höchst beschimpfet:
Gegrüßet sei'st du mir!
