How shall I, the unworthy one,
appear in the splendor of Thy saints?
For if I dare enter Thy bridal chamber with them,
my garments will betray me;

Cleanse the filth of my soul, O Lord,
and save me in Thy love for mankind.

Judas loves money with his mind.
The impious one moves against the Master.
He wills and plans the betrayal.

He agrees to the price and sells the priceless one.
A payment for the deeds the wretch gains hanging and a terrible death.
From his lot deliver us, O Christ God, granting remission of sins to those who celebrate Thine immaculate passion with love.
