Chi non verserà dolci lacrime di compassione
insieme con queste anime pie
nel vederti morire, Signore?

Chi, insieme con loro, non diventerà muto
incapace di dire parola,
davanti alla tua morte,signore?

Chi non verserà lacrime di compassione
con queste anime pie?
E resterà senza parole,
nel vederti morire, Signore?

E chi non proverà quell'intima gioia,
che il Redentore divino dona loro,
un assaggio della gioia celeste,
ah, che Gesù Cristo offrirà loro
per pregustare le gioie del cielo?
