Quid sunt plagae istae

in medio manuum tuarum?

Salve Jesu, pastor bone,

fatigatus in agone,

qui per lignum es distractus

et ad lignum es compactus

expansis sanctis manibus

Manus sanctae, vos amplector,

et gemendo condelector,

grates ago plagis tantis,

clavis duris guttis sanctis

dans lachrymas cum osculis

In cruore tuo lotum

me commendo tibi totum,

tuae sanctae manus istae

me defendant, Jesu Christe,

extremis in periculis 

“What are those stripes?

in the middle of your hands?

Hail Jesus, good shepherd

tired in the race

who are distracted by the wood

and you are compacted to the tree

with outstretched holy hands

Holy hands, I embrace you

and with groaning I am delighted,

I am grateful for such a lot

the key of the holy drops

giving tears with kisses

Washed in your blood

I commend myself to you completely

those holy hands of yours

protect me, Jesus Christ

in extreme danger"
