Latin text

1. Vexilla Regis prodeunt:
Fulget Crucis mysterium,
Qua vita mortem pertulit,
Et morte vitam protulit.

3. Impleti sunt quae concinit
David fideli carmine,
Dicendo nationibus:
Regnavit a ligno Deus.
Amen.

6. O crux ave, spes unica,
hoc passionis tempore (vel mundi salus et gloria)
Piis adauge gratiam,
Reisque dele crimina.
Amen.

===I. Jesus wird zm Tode verdammt.===
Innocens ego sum a sanguine justis hujus.

===II. Jesus träbt sein Kreuz.===
Ave, ave crux.

===III. Jesus fällt zum ersten Mal.===
Jesus cadit.

Stabat mater dolorosa
juxta crucem lacrymosa,
dum pendebat filius.

==IV. Jesus begegnet seiner heiligen Mutter.==

==V. Simon von Kyrene hilft Jesus das Kreuz tragen.==

==VI. Sancta Veronica.==
German text
O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden,
Voll Schmerz und voller Hohn,
O Haupt, zum Spott gebunden
Mit einer Dornenkron’,
O Haupt, sonst schön gezieret
Mit höchster Ehr’ und Zier,
Jetzt aber höchst schimpfieret;
Gegrüßet sei’st du mir!

==VII. Jesus fällt zum zweiten Mal.==

==VIII. Die Frauen von Jerusalem.==
Nolite flere super me, sed super vos ipsas flete et super filios vestros.

==IX. Jesus fällt zum dritten Mal.==

==X. Jesus wird entkleidet.==

==XI. Jesus wird ans Kreuz geschlagen.==
Crucifige!

==XII. Jesus stirbt am Kreuze.==
Eli, Eli, lamma Sabacthani
In manus tuas commendo spiritum meum.
Consummatum est.

O Traurigkeit, o Herzeleid,
Ist das nicht zu beklagen?
Gott des Vaters einigs Kind
wird ins Grab getragen.

==XIII. Jesus wird vom Kreuz genommen.==

==XIV. Jesus wird ins Grab gelegt.==
Ave crux, spes unica,
mundi salus et gloria
Auge piis justitiam
Reisque dona veniam!
Amen. Ave crux.

English translation J. M. Neale, 1851

The royal banners forward go;
The cross shines forth in mystic glow
Where He in flesh, our flesh who made,
our sentence bore, our ransom paid;
        
Fulfilled is all that David told
In true prophetic song of old;
Amidst the nations, God, saith he,
Hath reigned and triumphed from the tree.

O Cross, our one reliance, hail!
So may thy power with us avail
To give new virtue to the saint
And pardon to the penitent.

English translation

O sacred Head, now wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, Thine only crown;
O sacred Head, what glory,
what bliss till now was Thine!
Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine.
