This hymn is based on a long medieval Latin poem, Salve mundi salutare, attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153), with stanzas addressing the various parts of Christ's body hanging on the Cross. The last part of the poem, from which the hymn is taken, is addressed to Christ's head, and begins "Salve caput cruentatum."
