The harlot came to You, O Merciful Lord
Pouring out on Your feet myrrh, mixed with her tears
And was redeemed of her vices at Your command
But Your ungrateful Disciple, though he breathed Your grace
Rejected it, and becoming mixed in the filthy mire
He sells You in his greed. O Christ, glory to Your compassion
The deceitful Judas, in his love for money
Set out cunningly to betray You, O Lord, the Treasure of Life
Therefore in his folly he hastens to the Judeans, saying to the lawless
'What will you give me
And I will deliver Him to you
That He may be crucified?'
The harlot, in her grief, called out to You
O compassionate Lord, and fervently dried
Your sacred feet with the hair of her head
And from the depths of her heart she groaned
'Cast me not out, neither abhor me, O my God
But receive me in my repentance and save me, for You alone are Merciful'
