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.png 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
