Capitulum Hymnus Versus
Heb 9:11-12
Heb 9:11-12
Fratres: Christus assístens Póntifex futurórum bonórum, per ámplius et perféctius tabernáculum non manufáctum, id est, non huius creatiónis: neque per sánguinem hircórum aut vitulórum, sed per próprium sánguinem introívit semel in Sancta, ætérna redemptióne invénta.
Brethren: But Christ, standing as the High Priest of future good things, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, one not made by hand, that is, not of this creation, entered once into the Holy of Holies, having obtained eternal redemption, neither by the blood of goats, nor of calves, but by his own blood.
℟ Deo grátias.
℟ Thanks be to God.
Salvéte, Christi vúlnera,
Imménsi amoris pígnora
Quibus perénnes rívuli
Manant rubéntis sánguinis.
Nitóre stellas víncitis
Rosas odóre et bálsama,
Prétio lapíllos Indicos,
Mellis favos dulcédine.
Per vos patet gratíssimum
Nostris asýlum méntibus;
Non huc furor minántium
Umquam penétrat hóstium.
Quot Iesus in prætório
Flagélla nudus éxcipit!
Quot scissa pellis úndique
Stillat cruóris gúttulas!
Frontem venústam, proh dolor!
Coróna pungit spínea,
Clavi retúsa cúspide
Pedes manúsque pérforant.
Postquam sed ille trádidit
Amans volénsque spíritum,
Pectus ferítur láncea,
Geminúsque liquor éxsilit.
Ut plena sit redémptio,
Sub torculári stríngitur;
Suíque Iesus ímmemor,
Sibi nil resérvat sánguinis.
Veníte quotquot críminum
Funésta labes ínficit;
In hoc salútis bálneo
Qui se lavat, mundábitur.
Summi ad Paréntis déxteram
Sedénti habénda est grátia,
Qui nos redémit sánguine,
Sanctóque firmat Spíritu.
Amen.
Hail, holy wounds of Jesus, hail,
Sweet pledges of the saving rood,
Whence flow the streams that never fail,
The purple streams of his dear blood.
Brighter than brightest stars ye show,
Than sweetest rose your scent more rare,
No Indian gem may match your glow,
No honey's taste with yours compare.
Portals ye are to that dear home
Wherein our wearied souls may hide,
Whereto no angry foe can come,
The heart of Jesus crucified.
What countless stripes our Jesus bore,
All naked left in Pilate's hall!
From his torn flesh how red a shower
Did round his sacred person fall!
His beauteous brow, oh, shame and grief,
By the sharp thorny crown is riven;
Through hands and feet, without relief,
The cruel nails are rudely driven.
But when for our poor sakes he died,
A willing priest by love subdued,
The soldier's lance transfixed his side,
Forth flowed the water and the blood.
In full atonement of our guilt,
Careless of self, the Saviour trod—
E'en till his heart's best blood was spilt—
The wine-press of the wrath of God.
Come, bathe you in the healing flood,
All ye who mourn, by sin opprest;
Your only hope is Jesus' blood,
His sacred heart your only rest.
All praise to him, the Eternal Son,
At God's right hand enthroned above,
Whose blood our full redemption won,
Whose Spirit seals the gift of love.
Amen.
℣ Iustificáti in sánguine Christi.
℣ Justified in the blood of Christ.
℟ Salvi érimus ab ira per ipsum.
℟ We shall be saved from wrath through him.

1:71 Salvation from our enemies, * and from the hand of all those who hate us.
1:72 To accomplish mercy with our fathers: * and to call to mind his holy testament.
1:73 The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, * that he would grant to us:
1:74 So that, having been freed from the hand of our enemies, * we may serve him without fear.
1:75 In holiness and in justice before him, * throughout all our days.
1:76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High: * for you will go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his ways,
1:77 To give knowledge of salvation to his people: * for the remission of their sins,
1:78 Through the heart of the mercy of our God: * by which, descending from on high, he has visited us,
1:79 To illuminate those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death: * and to direct our feet in the way of peace.
