Christum ducem
Language: Latin
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.

Christ our leader
Language: English after the Latin
Christ our leader let our joyful assembly praise,
Who through the cross
Ransomed us from our enemies,
And let heaven resound with praises.
The harsh punishment of your death
And the shedding of your blood
Gnaw at our hearts so that they may seek you,
Jesus our redemption.
By the fortunate scars,
The spitting, lashes, and wounds,
May the eternal gifts of Christ
Be welcome to us and purified.
May the blood of your wounds,
In which we all rejoice,
Touch our heart so that it grieves,
O kind creator of the stars.
Saturate us, o Saviour,
In the gifts of your suffering ;
And may you also be willing to give
Us your blessed joys.
