Holy Friday - Today He Who suspended the earth upon the waters is suspended on a tree

Today he who suspended the earth upon the waters is suspended on a tree.

A Crown of thorns is placed on the head of the King of angels.

He who wore a false purple robe covered the heavens with clouds.

He is smitten who, in the Jordan, delivered Adam.

The Bridegroom of the Church is fastened with nails, and the son of the Virgin is pierced with a spear.

Thy sufferings we adore, O Christ!

Thy sufferings we adore, O Christ!

Thy sufferings we adore, O Christ!

Make us to behold thy glorious Resurrection.
