English translationJ. M. Neale, 1851
The royal banners forward go;
The cross shines forth in mystic glow
Where He in flesh, our flesh who made,
our sentence bore, our ransom paid;
Fulfilled is all that David told
In true prophetic song of old;
Amidst the nations, God, saith he,
Hath reigned and triumphed from the tree.
O Cross, our one reliance, hail!
So may thy power with us avail
To give new virtue to the saint
And pardon to the penitent.
Amen.

"I am innocent of this just man's blood."

Hail, hail Cross.

Fifth station: Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus carry the cross
Sixth station: Saint Veronica
O sacred Head, now wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, Thine only crown;
O sacred Head, what glory,
what bliss till now was Thine!
Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine.
Seventh station: Jesus falls the second time
Eighth station: The women of Jerusalem
"Weep not for me, but for yourselves and your children"
Ninth station: Jesus falls the third time

Eleventh station: Jesus is nailed to the cross
"Crucify him!"
Twelfth station: Jesus dies on the cross
"Into thy hands I commend my spirit"
"It is achieved"
O deepest woe
