Today is suspended upon the Tree He who suspended the land upon the waters. (3 times)
A crown of thorns crowns Him Who is the King of the angels.
He is wrapped about with a purple of mockery Who wrapped the heavens with clouds.
He receives smiting He Who freed Adam in the Jordan.
He is transfixed with nails Who is the Son of the Virgin.
We worship Thy Passion, O Christ. (3 times)
Show us also Thy Glorious Resurrection.
