When he had taken down
Your most pure Body from the tree,
Wrapped it in fine linen,
And anointed it with spices,
And placed it in a new tomb.

But Christ has shown Himself
a stranger to corruption.

Come, let us all sing the praises
of Him who was crucified for us,
For Mary said when she beheld Him upon the tree:
Though You do endure the cross,
You are my Son and my God!
