Latin contrafactum by Aquilino Coppini

Latin text Te, Jesu Christe, liberator meus, reverenter adoro. Vulneratus es, mihi ut des vitam Clavi tibi foderunt pedes, manus amabiles, feriere te cuspide saeva teterrimi ministri, impie ausi sunt, ferire pectus. Sic mira pietate redimisti me, Christe, Tua morte. Tu vero vulnera cor meum durum telo amoris tui.

English translation Jesus Christ, my redeemer, I worship you with reverence. You were wounded to give me life, The nails pierced your feet And your dear hands; the most loathsome minions Had the audacity to strike you with a cruel spear, To wound your breast. Thus in your wondrous mercy you redeemed me, Christ, By your death. Pierce my hard heart With the true spear of your love. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
