English Translation:
In praise of the Holy Cross,
Where our salvation hangs,
Let songs of joy and honor rise
To the Cross of our Lord,
O most precious Sacred Cross,
Through which death was conquered.
O wondrous Cross, radiant and pure,
O Holy Cross, shining forth in glory,
For it was on the Cross of Calvary
That our redemption was accomplished,
To the Cross, source of hope,
To the Cross, our fortress,
To the Cross, our protection from evil.
Let us all sing praises,
Let us all kneel in adoration,
Before the Holy Cross,
The sign of our redemption and salvation.
Glory to the Father,
And to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit,
One God, in three Divine Persons,
Forever, and ever. Amen.
