Vexilla regis (Anonymous, set by A. de Alba, P. Castaldi, A. Bruckner, G. Dufay) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Vexilla regis prodeunt,
fulget crucis mysterium,
quo carne carnis conditor
suspensus est patibulo.

Quo vulneratus in super
mucrone diro lanceae;
ut nos lavaret crimine
manavit unda cum sanguine.

O crux, ave, Spes unica!
Hoc passionis tempore
piis adauge gratiam,
reisque dele crimina!

Te, fons salutis, Trinitas,
collaudet omnis spiritus;
quibus crucis victoriam
largiris adde praemium.
