Latin and German 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 zum 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. 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 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. Amen. (J. M. Neale, 1851) First station: Jesus is condemned to death "I am innocent of this just man's blood." Second station: Jesus bears his cross Hail, hail Cross. Third station: Jesus falls the first time Jesus has fallen! Fourth station: Jesus greets his holy mother Fifth station: Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus carry the cross Sixth station: Saint Veronica 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. Seventh station: Jesus falls the second time Eighth station: The women of Jerusalem "Weep not for me, but for yourselves and your children" Ninth station: Jesus falls the third time Tenth station: Jesus is stripped Eleventh station: Jesus is nailed to the cross "Crucify him!" Twelfth station: Jesus dies on the cross "Into thy hands I commend my spirit" "It is achieved" O deepest woe Thirteenth station: Jesus is taken down from the cross Fourteenth station: Jesus is entombed
