Our translations: ENG
Christum ducem qui per crucem Redemit nos ab hostibus, Laudet coetus noster laetus, Exultet coelum laudibus. Poena fortis tuae mortis Et sanguinis effusio Corda terant ut te querant, Jesu nostra redemptio. Per felices cicatrices, Sputa, flagella, verbera, Nobis grata sint colata Aeterna Christi munera. Nostrum tangat cor ut plangat Tuorum sanguis vulnerum, In quo toti sumus laeti Conditor alme siderum. Passionis tuae donis, Salvator, nos inebria : Ac etiam dare velis Beata nobis gaudia.
