Crux fidélis, inter omnes arbor una nóbilis, Nulla talem silva profert, flore, fronde, gérmine! * Dulce lignum dulci clavo dulce pondus sústinens!
Cantores:
Pange, lingua, gloriósi prœlium certáminis, Et super crucis tropǽo dic triúmphum nóbilem, Quáliter Redémptor orbis immolátus vícerit.
Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle Sing the last, the dread affray; O’er the Cross, the victor’s trophy, Sound the high triumphal lay: Tell how Christ, the world’s Redeemer, As a victim won the day.
Omnes:
Crux fidélis, inter omnes arbor una nóbilis, Nulla talem silva profert, flore, fronde, gérmine!
Cantores:
De paréntis protoplásti fraude factor cóndolens, Quando pomi noxiális morte morsu córruit, Ipse lignum tunc notávit, damna ligni ut sólveret.
God, His Maker, sorely grieving That the first-made Adam fell, When he ate the fruit of sorrow, Whose reward was death and hell, Noted then this Wood, the ruin Of the ancient wood to quell.
Omnes:
Dulce lignum dulci clavo dulce pondus sústinens!
Cantores:
Hoc opus nostræ salútis ordo depopóscerat, Multifórmis perditóris arte ut artem fálleret, Et medélam ferret inde, hostis unde lǽserat.
For the work of our salvation Needs would have his order so, And the multiform deceiver’s Art by art would overthrow, And from thence would bring the med’cine Whence the insult of the foe.
Omnes:
Crux fidélis, inter omnes arbor una nóbilis, Nulla talem silva profert, flore, fronde, gérmine!
Cantores:
Quando venit ergo sacri plenitúdo témporis, Missus est ab arce Patris Natus, orbis cónditor, Atque ventre virgináli carne factus pródiit.
Wherefore, when the sacred fulness Of the appointed time was come, This world’s Maker left His Father, Sent the heav’nly mansion from, And proceeded, God Incarnate, Of the Virgin’s holy womb.
Omnes:
Dulce lignum dulci clavo dulce pondus sústinens!
Cantores:
Vagit infans inter arta cónditus præsépia, Membra pannis involúta Virgo Mater álligat, Et manus pedésque et crura stricta cingit fáscia.
Weeps the Infant in the manger That in Bethlehem’s stable stands; And His limbs the Virgin Mother Doth compose is swaddling bands, Meetly thus in linen folding Of her God the feet and hands.
Omnes:
Crux fidélis, inter omnes arbor una nóbilis, Nulla talem silva profert, flore, fronde, gérmine!

Lustra sex qui iam perácta tempus implens córporis, se volénte, natus ad hoc, passióni déditus, agnus in crucis levátur immolándus stípite.
Omnes:
Dulce lignum dulci clavo dulce pondus sústinens!
Cantores:
En acétum, fel, arúndo, sputa, clavi, láncea; Mite corpus perforátur, sanguis, unda prófluit; Terra, pontus, astra, mundus quo lavántur flúmine!
Omnes:
Crux fidélis, inter omnes arbor una nóbilis, Nulla talem silva profert, flore, fronde, gérmine!

Flecte ramos, arbor alta, tensa laxa víscera, Et rigor lentéscat ille, quem dedit natívitas, Ut supérni membra Regis miti tendas stípite.
Bend thy boughs, O Tree of glory! Thy relaxing sinews bend; For awhile the ancient rigor, That thy birth bestowed, suspend; And the King of heavenly beauty On thy bosom gently tend!

Sola digna tu fuísti ferre sæcli prétium Atque portum præparáre nauta mundo náufrago, Quem sacer cruor perúnxit fusus Agni córpore.
