By the love wherewith thou didst will thy sacred Side to be opened with the lance,
By the love wherewith thou didst will to be laid in the sepulchre,
By the most acceptable sacrifice which thou didst offer to thy Father in thy Passion,
By the intercession of thy dearest Mother and of all thine elect,
By thine infinite dignity and worth,
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,
Spare us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,
Graciously hear us, O Lord. Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,
Have mercy on us.
Jesus, hear us.
Jesus, graciously hear us.
Ant. O Saviour of the world, save us, who by thy cross and blood hast redeemed us: grant us thine aid, we beseech thee, O our God.
V. We adore thee, O Christ, and we bless thee.
R. Because by thy cross thou hast redeemed the world.
