Here I present, "Today the Lord of Creation stands before Pilate" sung at Holy Friday Vespers. 

Reader: 
For He has made His mercy to prevail over us, and the truth of the Lord abides forever.

People: 
Today the Lord of Creation stands before Pilate
Today the Creator of all is condemned to die on the cross.
Of His own will, He is led as a lamb to slaughter.
He who fed His people with manna in the desert is transfixed with nails.
His side is pierced, and a sponge of vinegar touches His lips.
The Redeemer of the world is slapped on the face.
The Maker of all is mocked by His own servants.
How great is the Master's love for mankind!
For those who crucified Him, He prayed to His Father saying
"Forgive them this sin, for they know not what they do."

Reader:
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit........

Sung here by the Choir of the Moscow Patriachate.
