Взойдём на Голгофу, мой брат!
Vzoydyom na Golgofu, moy brat!
Let's ascend to Golgotha, my brother!

Там посланный Богом Мессия распят.
Tam poslannyy Bogom Messiya raspyat.
There sent [by] God Messiah [is] crucified.

О правде святой проповедовал Он,
O pravde svyatoy propovedoval On,
About truth holy preached He,

Больных исцелял, а теперь Он казнён.
Bol'nykh istselyal, a teper' On kaznyon.
[The] sick [He] healed, but now He [is] executed.

Падём перед Ним!
Padyom pered Nim!
[Let us] fall down before Him!

Он страждет, и жаром ланиты горят;
On strazhdet, i zharom lanity goryat;
He suffers, and [with] fevor cheeks burn;

Он жаждет, и уксус Тому подают,
On zhazhdet, i uksus Tomu podayut,
He thirsts, and vinegar [to] Him [they] serve,

Чьи воды живые для мира текут.
CH'i vody zhivyye dlya mira tekut.
Whose waters living for [the] world flow.

Падем перед Ним!
Padyom pered Nim!
[Let us] fall down before Him!

"Прости им, не знают, что худо творят!" -
"Prosti im, ne znayut, chto khudo tvoryat!" -
"Forgive them, [they do] not know, that evil/harm do/make!"

Он молит, Взойдем же, дабы и за нас
On molit, Vzoydem zhe, daby i za nas
He prays, Let us ascend then so that for us too

Молитва Христова к Отцу вознеслась.
Molitva Khristova k Ottsu vozneslas'.
[The] Prayer of Christ to [the] Father ascends.

Вот снова Он к небу подъемлет Свой взгляд!
Vot snova On k nebu pod"yemlet Svoy vzglyad!
Here again He to heaven raises His own gaze!

"Отец Мой! Зачем Ты оставил Меня?"
"Otets Moy! Zachem Ty ostavil Menya?"
"Father Mine! Why [did] You forsake Me?"

О брат мой! Принять чтоб тебя и меня.
O brat moy! Prinyat' chtob tebya i menya.
O brother mine! To receive you and me.

Страдальца святого слова там звучат:
Stradal'tsa svyatogo slova tam zvuchat:
Sufferer's holy words there resound:
   (Ie, Words of the holy Sufferer there resound)

"Свершилось: Я дух Мой Тебе предаю!"
"Svershilos': YA dukh Moy Tebe predayu!"
"It is finished: I spirit Mine [to] You commit!"

За нас Он пожертвовал душу Свою.
Za nas On pozhertvoval dushu Svoyu.
For us He sacrificed/offered soul His own.

Падем перед Ним!
Padyom pered Nim!
[Let us] fall down before Him!

Посмотрим, как нашей греховности яд
Posmotrim, kak nashey grekhovnosti yad
Let us see, how our sinfulness's poison

В страданиях горьких Христа истомил,
V stradaniyakh gor'kikh Khrista istomil,
In [the] sufferings bitter [of] Christ exhausted,

Как дорого Он нам Спасенье купил.
Kak dorogo On nam Spasen'ye kupil.
How dearly He us Salvation bought.

Падем перед Ним!
Padyom pered Nim!
[Let us] fall down before Him!

English to fit the music
 
1.
My brother, let's climb to Calvary!
Where God sent Messiah to die on the Tree.
The Holy Truth preached and the sick He made well—
But now He is sentenced to suffer our Hell.
Fall down before Him!


2.
My brother, let's climb to Calvary!
O see how He suffers, His cheeks with fever burn.
He cries then He thirsts! Vinegar they then show
To the One who caused waters of life to o'erflow.
Fall down before Him!


3.
My brother, let's climb to Calvary!
"Forgive them, they know not their sin," is His plea.
Then let us ascend so that for us in Heav'n,
Christ's prayers to the Father ascend as they're giv'n.
Fall down before Him!


4.
My brother, let's climb to Calvary!
To Heaven He lifts up His eyes in agony:
"O My Father, why hast Thou forsaken Me?"
O_my brother, it was so that we could be free.
Fall down before Him!


5.
My brother, let's climb to Calvary!
For there are the Sufferer's Words that ring so free.
Hear Him cry "It's Finished! My Spirit I give!"
For us He was offered that we may then live.
Fall down before Him!


6.
My brother, let's climb to Calvary!
Our sinfulness' poison, oh, let us truly see
In Christ's bitter cup that He drank on the Cross;
Our richest gains came at immeasurable cost.
Fall down before Him!
