{{Text|Latin|
Crux fidelis, inter omnes
arbor una nobilis:
nulla silva talem profert,
fronde, flore, germine.
Dulce lignum, dulces clavos,
dulce pondus sustinet.}}

{{Translation|English|
Faithful cross, above all other,
One and only noble tree:
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit thy peer may be.
Sweetest wood and sweetest iron,
Sweetest weight is hung on thee!}}
{{mdl|4}}
{{Translation|English|
Faithful Cross,
among (them) all,
the one noble tree/trunk;
the wood offers nothing so great
in flower, foliage/frond, (or) sprout.
Sweet wood, sweet nail (or iron, depending on whether you're singing clavi or ferrum),
sustaining sweet weight!}}

{{Translation|Korean|
구더운 십자가
최상의 십자가
독존한 나무여.
어떤 나무가 너와 같이
잎을 꽃을 싹을 맺으랴.
달콤한 나무, 달콤한 쇠못,
네가 지탱하는 달콤한 무게.}}
