Hino ao Preciosíssimo Sangue

We kneel before You, O Merciful Blood of the Christ
Whose redemption brings us the grace of salvation
Formed in the virginal womb of the Divine Mother
By the miraculous intervention of the almighty

He establishes a new testament
That assures us of the inheritance of heaven
He is the source from which all virtue flows
Of the sacraments that come to us
To relieve us of our weaknesses

This Blood is like a wide river
Like a wide river of red water
Whose rushing waves pouring from the cross
They water and fertilize our land

The old sin was then entirely erased
And the old evil yeast was destroyed
And what wonderful fruits, on its banks they keep
It is this scattered Blood that brings forgiveness to the guilty

This Blood is like a wide river
Like a wide river of red water
Whose rushing waves pouring from the cross
They water and fertilize our land

It is He who gives martyrs courage
It is He who preserves in virgins without blemish
The purity of their lives!
Ardent, He communicates fervor to the souls of the righteous
Generous, He offers holiness to everyone as a reward

This Blood is like a wide river
Like a wide river of red water
Whose rushing waves pouring from the cross
They water and fertilize our land

This Blood is like a wide river
Like a wide river of red water
Whose rushing waves pouring from the cross
They water and fertilize our land
