| O Face, Divine of Jesus, in ages long ago, Prophets and Sages prayed that Thou, on earth its light would show. O Holy Face, I cry to Thee, Like them that I Thy beams may see, O Holy Face I cry to Thee. |
 |
| O suff’ring Face of Jesus, bleeding, soiled and torn, Thy temples and Thy brow transpierced with many a cruel thorn. Most Holy Face, I cry to Thee, offer Thy wounds to God for me, Most Holy Face I cry to Thee. |
|
| O dying Face of Jesus, on that redeeming tree, Crying aloud, “ah! why My God, hast Thou abandoned Me?” Most Holy Face, I cry to Thee, plead by Thine agony for me, Most Holy Face I cry to Thee. |
|
| O Glorious Face of Jesus, if after I have died, My soul but in Thy likeness make, I shall be satisfied. Most Holy Face, I cry to thee, more like Thee ever make Thou me, Most Holy Face I cry to Thee. |
