Original text and translations

Latin text

Dum fabricator mundi mortis supplicium pateretur in cruce,
clamans voce magna tradidit spiritum
et ecce velum templi scissum est,
monumenta aperta sunt, terremotus factus est magnus:
quia mortem filii Dei se sustinere non posse.

Aperto ergo lancea militis, crucifixi Domini,
exivit sanguis et aqua in redemptionem salutis nostrae.
O admirabile pretium cujus pondere captivitas redempta est mundi:
tartarea confracta sunt claustra infer aperta est nobis janua regni.
