abstersa sunt.

RESPOND
Oh force of eternity
which has ordered all things in your heart
through your Word all things were created
just as you wished
and that very word of yours
donned solid flesh
in that molding
which was drawn out from Adam.

REPETENDA
And so its very own garment
was washed clean
of the deepest suffering.

VERSE
O how great is the kindness of the Savior
who has freed all things
through his incarnation,
an incarnation which divinity breathed out
free from the fetters of sin.

REPETENDA
And so its very own garment
was washed clean
of the deepest suffering.

DOXOLOGY
Glory to the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit.

REPETENDA
And so its very own garment
was washed clean
of the deepest suffering.
