Holy Friday, 15th Antiphon

The departed Bishop Job of blessed memory sings the 15th Antiphon of Holy Friday.




Today He who hung the earth upon the waters is hung upon the tree,
The King of the angels is decked with a crown of thorns.
He who wraps the heavens in clouds is wrapped in a purple robe of mockery.
He who freed Adam in the Jordan is struck on the face.
The Bridegroom of the Church is affixed to the Cross with nails.
The Son of the virgin is pierced by a spear.
We worship Thy passion, O Christ.
We worship Thy passion, O Christ.
We worship Thy passion, O Christ.
Show us also Thy glorious resurrection.

I wish the version I had chanted yesterday sounded half as good as what His grace did. Memory eternal!
