All hail, O most venerable hands and arms of our Lord Jesus Christ, stretched upon the cross for us.
All hail, O most meek breast of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, much troubled for us at thy passion.
All hail, O most glorious side of our Lord Jesus Christ, pierced through with the spear of a soldier for us.
All hail, O sacred knees of mercy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, bowed for us in thy prayers.
