Latin text

Christe, Fili Dei, mundi qui crimina tollis, miserere nobis.
Christe, Fili Dei, mundi verissima salus, miserere nobis.
Christe, Fili Dei, precibus sanctissimae matris adjuva nos et tolle tribulationem nostram.

English translation Translation supplied by The St. Ann Choir, directed by William Mahrt

O Christ, Son of God, who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.
O Christ, Son of God, most true salvation of the world, have mercy upon us.
O Christ, Son of God, through the prayers of thy most holy mother, help us and take away our tribulation.

German translation by Euphrosyne

Christus, Sohn Gottes, der Du die Verbrechen der Welt erträgst, erbarme Dich unserer.
Christus, Sohn Gottes, wirklichstes Heil der Welt, erbarme Dich unserer.
Christus, Sohn Gottes, durch die Bitten der heiligsten Mutter hilf uns und nimm uns die Not.
