1 Stabat Mater dolorosa
Iuxta crucem lacrimosa
dum pendebat Filius.

2. Cuius animam gementem,
contristatam et dolentem,
pertransivit gladius.

3. O quam tristis et afflicta
fuit illa benedicta
Mater Unigeniti.

4. Quæ mœrebat et dolebat,
Pia Mater cum videbat
Nati pœnas incliti.

5. Quis est homo qui non fleret,
Matrem Christi si videret
in tanto supplicio?

6. Quis non posset contristari,
Christi Matrem contemplari

9. Eia Mater, fons amoris,

10. Fac ut ardeat cor meum
in amando Christum Deum,
ut sibi complaceam.
