Let heaven exult in our praises.

and the shedding of blood
subdue our hearts, that they may seek thee,
Jesus our redemption.

By thy auspicious scars,
The spittings, the scourgings, the beatings,
may on us be conferred the pleasing
Eternal gifts of Christ.

May thy blood touch our heart, that it may
weep for thy wounds,
in which may we all rejoice,
Life-giving creator of the stars.

With the gifts of thy passion,
Saviour, make us drunk,
and be pleased also to grant
as blessed joys.
