Summae Deus clementiae

God, in whom all grace doth dwell!
Grant us grace to ponder well
On the Virgin’s Dolours seven;
On the wounds to Jesus given.

May the tears which Mary pour’d
Gain us pardon of the Lord;
Tears sufficient in their worth
To wash out the guilt of earth.

May the contemplation sore
Of the five wounds Jesus bore,
Source to us of blessings be,
Through a long eternity.

Glory be to Him, who died
For his servants crucified;
Honour, praise, eternal merit,
To the Father and the Spirit.
