On the bitter altar of the Cross
thou didst shed streams ofblood,
Jesus Christ, kindly king,
Sharer in thy Father's light.
Blood of Christ, that was
the slayer of the jealous foe,
make us depart and come
To the supper of the foresighted Lamb.

nulla tamen silva profert / fronde flore germine." (GT 182)
