You whose face was veiled
And who sustained our needs,
O sun of justice,
Who was mocked with bended knees
And struck too with whips,
We beg you eagerly,
Be well-disposed to us
And by your mercy
Lead us to glory.

You who at the third hour
Were led to your punishment,
O Christ, by bearing on your shoulders
The cross for us wretches,
Make us thus  to love you
And to lead holy lives
That we may be worthy to enjoy
The peace of our heavenly homeland.

Among the lashes you drank
A most bitter drink of gall ;
To every people reflecting on
The torment of your death
Grant virtue and salvation,
O Christ redeemer of all.
Honour and blessing
Be to the crucified Son
Who with his suffering
Redeemed us from hell.

On the bitter altar of the cross
You poured out streams of blood,
O Jesus Christ, kindly king,
Sharer of the father's light;
You who poured out the blood of Christ,
O destroyer of the envious enemy,
Make us go and come
To the banquet of the lamb who provides.

You who lay dead
In the stone, innocent king,
Make us rest in you
And always give you praises,
Help us, O Lord,
Whom you have redeemed with your blood,
And lead us to the heavenly
Joys of eternal peace.
