(Blessed be thy name, O Lord;
teach me the way of thy statutes.)
All the angel host were amazed
when they beheld thee among the dead;
yet destroying all the might of death, O Saviour,
with thyself thou didst deliver Adam,
and from Hades didst redeem us.
(Blessed be thy name, O Lord;
teach me the way of thy statutes)
“Wherefore mingle ye the sweet smelling ointment,
O ye disciples, with
your pitying tears?”
shining from the tomb spake the Angel
to the women bearing spices:
“Behold ye the tomb, and be of good cheer,
for he is not here, but is risen.”
(Blessed be thy name, O Lord;
teach me the way of thy statutes.)
Very early came the myrrh-bearing women,
lamenting sorely, to the sepulcher:
but before them stood an Angel and said:
“The time of your mourning is past;
lament no more,
but go and tell the apostles that he is risen.”
(Blessed be thy name, O Lord;
teach me the way of thy statutes.)
When the myrrh-bearing women
drew nigh thy sepulchre,
O Saviour, they mourned:
but an angel spake unto them, saying:
“Why seek ye the living among the dead?
As God he has risen from the grave.”
Glory to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Let us worship the Father with the Son
and the Holy Spirit,
The Holy Trinity, three
in one and one in three;
let us cry with the angels
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth,
as it is and shall be
ever, world without end.
Amen.
Thou, O Holy Virgin, bringing forth the Lord,
ransomedst Adam
and gavest joy for sorrow unto Eve:
they whom from life had fallen are restored
by the Saviour incarnate of
thee, both God and man.
Alleluia! Glory be to thee, O God.
We have seen thy resurrection, O Christ,
and adore thee, O Holy Lord Jesus,
for thous only art sinless.
We venerate thy Cross, O Lord Christ,
and we praise and glorify
thy holy resurrection.
For thou art our God;
we know none other beside thee;
therefore we call upon thy Name.
O come hither, all ye faithful,
let us magnify Christ’s holy resurrection:
For behold, through the Tree
joy hath come to all the world;
wherefore we bless the Lord evermore
and we sing his resurrection with joy
who suffered the shame of the cross,
conquering death by his death.
Today hath salvation come to earth;
let us praise our Saviour, risen from the tomb;
for he is the Author of our life;
for destroying death by death,
he hath given us the victory and great favor.
When thou hadst arisen from the tomb,
and burst the bonds of hell,
thou destroyedst the condemnation of death
O Lord, breaking the
bonds of the enemy.
Revealing thyself to thine Apostles,
thou didst send them forth to preach thy Word,
granting thy peace through them to all the world,
O thou only all-merciful one.
Heaven-elected chieftain
of triumphant hosts,
since thou hast saved us from evil,
hymns of glad thanksgiving do thy servants
off unto thee,
thou who bearest God!
Do thou, to whom God hath given might invincible,
deliver us from every ill;
then shall we cry:
hail to thee, O Bride and ever Maiden!
