Contrafactum Qui pependit

Latin text Qui pependit in cruce, Deus meus, Liberat me potenter de persequentibus me Ne quando rapiatur coelum mihi. O miram charitatem & ardorem! Qui nesciebat mortem subiit mortem Ut me deduceret ad regna sua, Regna coelis excelsi. O clavos atroces sine pietate! Vulnera tua sunt mihi medicina salutaris Non ego fundam lacchrymas amaras Non ingemiscum, Deus meus, qui sceleribus meis effici plagas tuas?

English translation He who hung upon the cross, my God, Frees me y his power from my persecutors So that he may carry me away to heaven. What a wonderful charity and ardor! He who did not know death suffered death So as to lead me to his kingdom in high heaven. O cruel and pitiless nails! Your wounds are my saving medicine Should I not shed bitter tears or bewail, my God, I whose sins caused thy suffering?
