Translation: Eva Ferro
Bone Iesu, dulcis Christe
Lapsis dextram porrige
Et ad fidem erige
Mundi curas exue.
Fidem firmam imprime,
Resurgentes robora
Tibique concorpora.
Adoramus te Christe et benedicimus tibi quia per sanctam crucem tuam redemisti mundum.
Good Jesus, sweet Christ, put forth your right hand for those who have fallen and raise (them) to faith, strip off the troubles of the world.
Impress a firm faith, strengthen those who will resurrect and incorporate (them) into you.
We adore you Christ and praise you because you redeemed the world with your holy cross.
Adoramus ... mundum = multipurpose antiphon for the Holy Cross, used e.g. in the Short Office of the Cross, in Good Friday observances, for the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross (Cantus ID 001287), etc.
per sanctam crucem] per crucem
Adoramus ... mundum is included in the texts of other Elevation motets, see T056 / M056 (as part of C16 Ave domine Iesu Christe, attr. to Compère) and T076 / M076 (as part of the cycle C14b Ave virgo gloriosa caeli iubar / <Missa> Galeazescha by Compère).
