Vere languores nostros ipse tulit
et doloros nostros ipse portavit
cujus livore sanati sumus
Dulce lignum, dulces clavos
Dulcia ferens pondera
Quae sola fuistis digna sustinere
Regem coelorum et Dominum
Truly, our failings he has taken upon himself
And our sorrows he has borne
By his wounds we have been healed
O sweet wood, O sweet nails
That bore his sweet burden
Which alone were worthy to support
The King of Heaven and Lord
