This version of Adoramus was by Theodore Dubois
Adoramus te (Latin, "We adore Thee") is a stanza that is recited or sung mostly during the ritual of the Stations of the Cross.
This prayer by St. Francis was inspired by the Antiphon: Adoramus te, Christe, et benedicimus tibi; quia per sanctam Crucem tuam redemisti mundi, which was part of the Liturgy for Good Friday. This Antiphon has a long and venerable history as a prayer in and of itself.
Pope St. Gregory the Great recommended it as did the monk Arnulphe
Latin:
Adoramus Te Christe
Et Benedicimus tibi
Quia per Sanctam Crucem Tuam
Redemisti mundum
English:
We Adore You O Christ and
We Bless You
Because by Your Holy Cross
You have redeemed the world
