Antiphon
1 My people,
what have I
done to you
How have
I afflicted you,
answer Me.
Antiphon
2 Holy God
mighty God, holy
immortal one
Have mercy.
It
was I who
brought you out of
the land of
Egypt
And
you have prepared
a cross for
Your Saviour (Ant.1)
It
was I who
for Your sake
scourged Egypt through
its first born,
And
you have scourged
Me and betrayed
Me. (Ant 2)
It
was I who
opened the sea
before you,
And
with a spear
My side you
have opened. (Ant
1)
It
was I who
drew from the
rock of salvation for
you to drink,
And
you have given
Me gall and
vinegar to drink
(Ant. 2)
It
was I who
gave you a
royal sceptre,
And
you have put
on My head
a crown of
thorns (Ant.1)
It was
I who exalted
you with great
power
And on the
gibbet of the
cross you have
hanged me (Ant. 2)
