GREGORIAN Improperium - Catholic Gregorian Chant Hymns #tag: Traditionally, this is a hymn for the Offertory of Palm Sunday. It is of
course the prophecy fulfilled by Christ on the Cross. Here are the
lyrics and rough translation:
Improperium expectavit cor meum et
miseriam et sustinui qui simul mecum contristaretur et non fuit;
consolatem me quaesivi, et non inveni et dederunt in escam meam fel et
in siti mea potaverunt me aceto.
Thy rebuke hath broken my
heart; I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to have pity on me but
there was no man, neither found I any to comfort me. They gave me gall
to eat, and when I was thirsty they gave me vinegar to drink
