Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, Creator of heaven and earth, Savior of the world! Now, unworthy and most sinful of all, humbly bowing the knee of my heart before the glory of Thy Majesty, I sing the Cross and Thy suffering, and I offer thanks to Thee, the King of all and to God, for Thou hast deigned to bear all the labors and all kinds of troubles, misfortunes and torments as a man, so that He may sympathize with all of us in all sorrows, needs and embitterments. You will be a Helper and Savior. We know, Omnipotent Master, that all this was not needed by You, but for the sake of human salvation, that You might redeem us all from the cruel work of the enemy, You endured the cross and suffering. That I will repay Thee, O Lover of Mankind, for all that Thou hast suffered for me for the sake of a sinner; We do not know: for soul and body and all that is good are from You, and all that is mine is Yours, and I am Yours.
I hope in Thy innumerable mercy, O Blessed Lord, I sing Thy ineffable long-suffering, I magnify Thy inscrutable exhaustion, I glorify Thy immeasurable mercy, I worship Thy most pure passion, and lovingly kissing Thy wounds, I cry out: have mercy on me, a sinner, and do not Thy Holy Cross will be fruitless in me, but may I commune here with Thy suffering in faith, and be worthy to see the glory of Thy Kingdom in heaven.
