 By their bonds and imprisonment,

By their pains and torments,

By their wounds and stripes,

By their cruel death,

By the shedding of their blood,

By all the adversities and the miseries which they endured for thy glory,

By the love wherewith thou hast loved them from eternity,

By the love wherewith thou didst draw them to thyself,

By the love wherewith thou didst dwell in their hearts,

By the love wherein thou didst confer on them such manifold graces,

By the love wherewith thou didst receive them into heaven,

By the love wherewith thou art ever bestowing on them their everlasting reward,

By the mutual love which unites them to thee,

Jesus Christ,

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,

Spare us, O Lord.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,

Graciously hear us O Lord.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,

Have mercy on us.
