Vexilla regis prodeunt fulget crucis mysterium qua vita mortem pertulit et morte vitam protulit | Quae vulnerata lanceae mucrone diro criminum ut nos lavaret sordibus manavit unda sanguine | Impleta sunt quae concinit David fideli carmine dicendo nationibus regnavit a ligno deus | Arbor decora et fulgida ornata regis purpura electa digno stipite tam sancta membra tangere | Beata cujus bracchiis pretium pependit saeculi statera facta corporis tulitque praedam Tartari | O crux ave spes unica hoc passionis tempore piis adauge gratiam reisque dele crimina | Te fons salutis trinitas collaudet omnis spiritus quibus crucis victoriam largiris adde praemium | Amen

Notes
The rubric only gives information that the chant should be sung on weekdays on Vespers and minor hours. The rubric of previous chant it is missing so we can not define the feast. The time signature (O sign) and the chant's musical notation itself indicate a particular notation and use of rhythm. Folios 028r-029r have additional text. The first three stanzas contain text on pentagram over the original text, which was written later. This new text corresponds to the hymn "Rerum deus tenax vigor..." (C ID: 008382).
