Responsory for the Creator and Redeemer
O power within Eternity:
All things you held in order in your heart,
and through your Word were all created
according to your will.
And then your very Word
was clothed within
that form of flesh
from Adam born.
And so his garments
were washed and cleansed
by greatest suffering.
How great the Savior’s goodness is!
For he has freed all things
by his own Incarnation,
which divinity breathed forth
unchained by any sin.
And so his garments
were washed and cleansed
by greatest suffering.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
And so his garments
were washed and cleansed
by greatest suffering.
