For Good Friday

  An ancient Irish prayer or hymn, apropos for Good Friday:
King of the Friday
Whose limbs were stretched on the cross,
O Lord who didst suffer
The bruises, the wounds, the loss,
 
We stretch ourselves
Beneath the shield of your might.
May some fruit from the tree of your passion
Fall on us this night!
