O Domine Jesu Christe, adoro te in cruce pendentem
et coronam spineam in capite portantem :
deprecor te, ut ipsa crux liberet me ab angelo percutiente.

O Domine Jesu Christe, adoro te in cruce vulneratum,
felle et aceto potatum : deprecor te,
ut tua vulnera sint remedium animae meae.

O Domine Jesu Christe, adoro te in sepulcro positum,
myrrha et aromatibus conditum :
deprecor te, ut tua mors sit vita mea.

O Domine Jesu Christe, pastor bone, iustos conserva,
peccatores iustifica, omnibus fidelibus miserere,
et propicius esto mihi peccatori.

O Domine Jesu Christe, propter illam amaritudinem,
quam pro me sustinuisti in cruce, maxime in illa hora,
quando sanctissima anima tua egressa est de corpore tuo,
miserere animae meae in egressu suo.
Amen.
(Pope Gregory I)


=== ENGLISH ===


O Lord Jesus Christ, I worship you hanging on the cross
and wearing the crown of thorns on your head:
I pray you that that cross may free me from the angel who strikes me.

O Lord Jesus Christ, I worship you wounded on the cross,
drinking gall and vinegar: I pray you
that your wounds may be the cure for my soul.

O Lord Jesus Christ, I worship you placed in the tomb,
anointed with myrrh and spices:
I pray you that your death may be my life.

O Lord Jesus Christ, good shepherd, save the just,
make just the sinners, pity all the faithful,
and be well-disposed to me, a sinner.

O Lord Jesus Christ, for the sake of that bitter punishment
which you bore for me on the cross, especially at that hour
when your most holy soul departed your body,
have pity on my soul at its departure.
Amen.
(Translation David Wyatt)
