Adoramus te

Adoramus te (Latin, "We adore Thee") is a stanza recited or sung mostly during the ritual of the Stations of the Cross. It is recited or sung between stations.

Though primarily a Catholic tradition, it is also practised in some confessional Anglican and Lutheran denominations during Good Friday liturgies, although recited generally in the vernacular.

Adoramus Te, Christe,
et benedicimus tibi,
quia per sanctam crucem tuam
redemisti mundum.

Domine, Domine, miserere nobis.

O Lord, O Lord, have mercy on us.
