W ofierze na krzyżu za człowieka.

Abyśmy go zakosztowali podczas sądu w godzinę śmierci.
O Jezu słodki!
O Jezu, łaskawy!
O Jezu synu Maryi.}}

{{Translation|Hungarian|
Üdvözlégy, igazi Test,
ki Szűz Máriától születtél,
valóságosan szenvedtél s feláldoztattál
a keresztfán az emberért!

Kinek átvert oldalából
víz és vér folyt,
Add, hogy téged ízlelhessünk
halálunk megpróbáltatásában is!

Ó édes, ó kegyes, ó Mária Fia, Jézus,
irgalmazz nekem! Amen.}}
