Lyrics:
Popule meus, quid feci tibi? Aut in quo contristavi te? Responde mihi.
Quia eduxi te de terra Ægypti: parasti Crucem Salvatori tuo.
Hagios o Theos. Sanctus Deus.
Hagios Ischyros. Sanctus Fortis.
Hagios Athanatos, eleison hemas.
Sanctus et Immortalis, miserere nobis.
My people, what have I done to you? How have I offended you? Answer me!
I led you out of Egypt, from slavery to freedom, but you led your Saviour to the cross.
Holy is God! Holy is God!
Holy and strong! Holy and strong!
Holy and immortal One, have mercy on us.
Holy and immortal One, have mercy on us.
