Original text and translations

Latin text Reduc, Domine Deus meus, oculos majestatis tuae super opus ineffabilis pietatis; intuere dulcem natum, toto, toto corpore extensum, cerne manus inoxias pio manantes sanguine, et remitte placatus scelera, quae patrarunt manus meae.

English translation Turn, O Lord my God, the eyes of your majesty, upon this work of ineffable tenderness; Behold thy sweet child, Whose whole body was stretched out; Behold the innocent hands Welling with sacred blood, and relent and forgive the crimes my hands have perpetrated. Translation by James Gibb
