Antiphon Holy Thursday Evening: Today Is Suspended Upon a Tree

Today is suspended upon the tree
He who suspended the land upon the waters
Today is suspended upon the tree
He who suspended the land upon the waters
Today is suspended upon the tree
He who suspended the land upon the waters

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 smitings
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
We worship Thy Passion, O Christ
We worship Thy Passion, O Christ

Show us also Thy glorious Resurrection
