Contrafactum Qui pependit

Latin.png Latin text

Qui pependit in cruce, Deus meus,
Liberat me potenter de persequentibus me
Ne quando rapiatur coelum mihi.
O miram charitatem & ardorem!
Qui nesciebat mortem subiit mortem
Ut me deduceret ad regna sua,
Regna coelis excelsi.
O clavos atroces sine pietate!
Vulnera tua sunt mihi medicina salutaris
Non ego fundam lacchrymas amaras
Non ingemiscum, Deus meus,
qui sceleribus meis effici plagas tuas?

English.png English translation

He who hung upon the cross, my God,
Frees me y his power from my persecutors
So that he may carry me away to heaven.
What a wonderful charity and ardor!
He who did not know death suffered death
So as to lead me to his kingdom
in high heaven.
O cruel and pitiless nails!
Your wounds are my saving medicine
Should I not shed bitter tears
or bewail, my God,
I whose sins caused thy suffering?
