Canticle of the Blood

Canticle of the Blood

By Saint Maria de Mattias

Come, let us adore Christ, the Son of God,

who has redeemed us with His Blood.

Clap your hands, all you peoples,

sing unto God with a voice of jubilation.

For You, God, glorious and mighty,

have shown us mercy.

You have not spared Your only Son

but delivered Him up in our behalf.

That You might redeem us from

our sins in Christ’s own Blood;

That justified in the Blood of Jesus

You might turn Your anger from us;

That we who were separated might

be reconciled through the Blood of Christ.

O God, my God, what can I render

to You for all the good

you have bestowed upon me?

I will take the chalice of salvation,

and I will call upon the power of Christ’s Blood.

Sing to Jesus, all you saints, and

make known the memory of His holiness.

For Christ indeed has loved us and

washed us in His Blood and has

become our helper and redeemer.

May Christ be blessed forever who

has wrought such wonders in us.

Blessed be Jesus for all ages, and

may the heavens and the earth

be filled with the praises of His love.

Come, let us adore Christ, the Son

of God, who has redeemed us with His Blood.

Amen.
