tr., John Brownlie 8,7,8,7 ten achranton eikona sou proskunoumen I To Thy blest Cross, O Christ, we come, And falling down adore Thee, And humbly make confession full Of all our sins before Thee. II For Thou Thyself art very God, And freely cam'st to save us; And in our flesh the fetters broke With which our sins enslave us. III Therefore we own with grateful hearts The joy the Saviour brought us, Who came to earth, and in our sins With love and pity sought us. |
