Ti saluto, o Croce Santa

Ti saluto, o Croce santa, che portasti il Redentor:
Gloria, lode, onor ti canta, ogni lingua ed ogni cuor. (Rit.)

Sei vessillo glorioso di Cristo, sua vittoria e segno di amore:
Il suo sangue innocente fu visto come fiamma sgorgare dal cuor.

Tu nascesti fra braccia amorose
d'una Vergine Madre o Gesù
tu moristi fra braccia pietose
d'una croce che data Ti fu


- in English

Hail, Holy Cross

Hail, Holy Cross, which you brought the Redeemer:
Glory, praise, honor you sing, every tongue and every heart. (Ret.)

Six glorious banner of Christ, his victory and a sign of love:
His innocent blood was seen as flowing from the heart flame.

You were born between loving arms
of a Virgin Mary or Jesus
you died between arms pitiful
of a cross that was given you.
