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.

Language: English after the Latin
The King's standards advance,
The mystery of the Cross blazes out
On which, flesh for our flesh, the Creator
Was hung for a gallows.
...
Completed are those things of which
David sang in his faithful song
In speaking to the nations:
God reigned from the wooden cross.
...
O Cross, hail, our one hope
In thi time of the Passion.
Increase the grace of the pious
And remove the sins of the guilty.
