Fairouz sings the Passion of Christ

Fairouz, the legendary Lebanese singer, singing the 15th Antiphon at Matins of Good Friday in 1965 at a church in Beirut in Lebanon:

Today he who hung the earth upon the waters is hung upon a Tree,
he who is King of the angels is arrayed in a crown of thorns,
he who wraps the heaven in clouds is wrapped in mocking purple,
he who freed Adam in the Jordan receives a blow on the face.
The Bridegroom of the Church is transfixed with nails.
The Son of the Virgin is pierced by a lance.

We worship your Sufferings, O Christ;
we worship your Sufferings, O Christ;
we worship your Sufferings, O Christ;
show us also your glorious Resurrection.

(translation (c) Archimandrite Ephrem)
