Popule meus, quid feci tibi, aut in quo contristavi te?

O my people, what have I done to thee? or wherein have I afflicted thee? Answer me.
Because I led thee out of the land of Egypt, you have prepared a cross for thy Savior.

O holy God!
O holy God!
O holy strong One!
O holy strong One!
O holy immortal One, have mercy upon us!
O holy immortal One, have mercy upon us!
