Strochnoy chant of Crucifixion - Royal Hour 9

When the transgressors nailed Thee, O Lord of glory, onto the Cross, Thou didst cry aloud to them: ‘How have I grieved you? Or angered you? Before Me, who hath delivered you from tribulations? And how do ye now repay Me? Ye have given Me evil For good: in return for the pillar of fire, ye have nailed Me onto the Cross; in return for the cloud in the wilderness, ye have dug a grave for Me. Instead of manna, ye have given Me gall; instead of water (glossolalia "Habuva"), ye have given Me vinegar to drink. Henceforth I shall call the Gentiles, and they shall glorify Me together with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
