O Lamb of God most stainless!
Who on the cross didst languish,
Patient through all Thy sorrows,
Though mock'd amid Thine anguish;
Our sins Thou barest for us,
Else had despair reign'd o'er us:
Have mercy upon us, O Jesu!

O Lamb of God, most stainless!
Who on the cross didst languish,
Patient through all Thy sorrows,
Though mock'd amid Thine anguish;
Our sins Thou barest for us,
Else had despair reign'd o'er us:
Grant us Thy peace to-day, O Jesu!
