Strofa 10

The Price of Redemption

The stanza reflects on the physical suffering of Christ and the outpouring of His blood as the means of human salvation.

For your sake, man, God allowed his hands and both his feet to be pierced; holy blood flowed from his side for your salvation.1

Read the original Latin

Ciebie dla, człowiecze, dał Bog przekłoć sobie Ręce, nodze obie, Kry święta szła z boka na zbawienie tobie.

Notes

  1. 1Middle Polish Kry = krew (blood); boka = side (of Christ on the cross). Fronted Ciebie dla is emphatic 'for you/for your sake.'
