First tone The Troparion of the Resurrection When the stone had been sealed by the Jews and when the soldiers were guarding Thy pure Body, O Savior, Thou didst rise on the third day and give life to the world.

Without sin, hast Thou been crucified, and of Thine own will hast Thou been laid in the tomb. But Thou as God hast risen raising Adam with Thyself, crying: Remember me, when Thou comest into Thy kingdom. On the third day, O Christ our God, Thou hast raised from the tomb the temple of Thy "body raising with Thyself Adam and those descending from him, crying: Remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom. The women bearing myrrh came early in the morning lamenting to Thy tomb, O Christ our God, and they found there an angel in shining white seated and crying; What do ye seek? Christ is risen, weep no more. O Lord, Thine apostles as Thou hast ordered them were beside Thee on the mountain and seeing Thee. O Savior, they worshipped and Thou hast sent them forth to teach and to baptize the nations. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Second tone The Troparion of the Resurrection When Thou, the deathless life, didst go down to death, then didst Thou slay hell by the lightening flash of Thy divinity.

Risen from the tomb Thou hast met the women bearing myrrh and told the disciples to proclaim Thy rising. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Third tone The Troparion of the Resurrection Let the heavens rejoice and let the earth be glad, for the Lord has done a mighty act with His arm. He has trampled death by death and become the first-born of the dead. He has delivered from the depths of hell, and has granted the world His great mercy.

And in Thy compassion, Thou hast made to dwell therein the thief confessing Thee upon the cross and crying; Remember me, O Savior, in Thy kingdom.

For the one by tasting set aside the commandment of the Maker, while the other, crucified with Him, confessed the hidden God crying aloud: Remember me in Thy kingdom. Lifted upon the cross, Thou, O Lord, as God, hath both destroyed the power of death and blotted out the handwriting against us. Do Thou Who alone lovest mankind, grant us the repentance of the thief as we serve Thee with faith, O Christ our God, and cry to Thee: Remember us also in Thy kingdom. Crucified and rising from the tomb in power on the third day, with Thyself hast Thou, only Immortal, raised Adam, the first-formed man. Make me also worthy, O Lord, to turn to repentance with my whole heart and with warm faith ever to cry to Thee: Remember me, O Savior, in Thy kingdom. Thou hast torn to pieces on the cross, the handwriting against, us and counted among the dead, Thou hast bound yonder tyrant, delivering all from the bonds of hell by Thy resurrection. Through it we have been enlightened and cry aloud to Thee, Lord who lovest mankind: Remember us also in Thy kingdom. For our sake He Who is without passion, became a suffering man and nailed upon the cross of His own will, He raised us with Himself. Therefore with the cross we glorify the passion and the resurrection through which we have both been made anew and through which we have been saved, crying: Remember us also in Thy kingdom. Let us entreat with faith Him rising from the dead despoiling the power of hell, Who was seen by the women bearing myrrh and said to the: Rejoice! for our souls always to be delivered from corruption, crying at all times to Him with the gracious voice of the thief: Remember us also in Thy kingdom. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Fifth tone The Troparion of the Resurrection Let us, the faithful, praise and adore the Word, co-eternal with the Father and the Spirit, Who for our salvation was born of a virgin.

By Thy death, O Christ, Thou hast destroyed the might of death and hast raised with Thyself those dead from the ages praising Thee as our true God and Savior. The holy women having come to the tomb, O Christ, sought to anoint Thee, giver of life, with myrrh, and an angel appeared to them crying aloud: The Lord is risen. Thou hast been crucified, O Christ, between two condemned thieves and one of them blaspheming Thee was rightly sentenced, while the other, confessing Thee, went to dwell in Paradise. The holy women coming to the choir of the apostles lifted their voices crying; Christ is risen; Worship ye Him as master and creator. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sixth tone The Troparion of the Resurrection The angelic hosts were before Thy tomb, the guards became as dead men, and Mary stood in the sepulchre looking for Thy pure body.

O giver of life, having broken the gates and chains of hell; Thou, Savior, hast made all men rise crying aloud: Glory to Thy resurrection. Do Thou Who hast by Thy burial and Thy resurrection despoiled death, and filled all things with joy, remember me as Thou art compassionate. When the women bearing myrrh came to the tomb they heard an angel crying; Christ is risen, filling the whole world with light. Let us all praise with one accord Christ nailed to the wood of the cross thus delivering the world from error. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Seventh tone The Troparion of the Resurrection Thou hast destroyed death by Thy cross, Thou hast opened paradise to the thief.

Alleluia: It is good to give praise unto the Lord, and to chant unto Thy name, O Most High. Stichos: To proclaim in the morning Thy mercy, and Thy truth by night. Verses on the Beatitudes Fair to look upon and good for food was the fruit that killed me; while Christ is the tree of life. Eating thereof, I die not but cry aloud with the thief; Remember me, O Lord, in Thy kingdom. Lifted upon the cross, Thou Who art compassionate, hast blotted out the handwriting of Adam's sin in days of old, and Thou hast saved from error all the whole line of mortal men. Therefore we sing Thy praises, O benefactor and Lord. Thou hast nailed our sins upon the cross, O Christ Who art compassionate, and by Thy death hast Thou put death to death, raising the dead from the dead. Therefore we venerate Thy holy Resurrection. The serpent once emptied his poison into the ears of Eve; while Christ on the wood of the cross poured the sweetness of life into the world. Remember me, O Lord, in Thy kingdom. In the tomb wast Thou laid as mortal, O Christ, the life of all and Thou hast burst asunder the chains of hell and risen the third day in glory as mighty. Thou hast enlightened all. Glory to Thy rising. The Lord rose from the dead on the third day and gave His own peace to the disciples. And He blessed them and sent them forth saying: Lead ye all men into My kingdom. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Eighth tone The Troparion of the Resurrection Thou didst come down from on high, Merciful Savior, and accept burial for three days, that Thou mightest free us from our passions.

Verses on the Beatitudes Remember us, O Christ, Savior of the world, as Thou hast remembered the thief upon the cross. And make us all worthy of Thy heavenly kingdom, O Thou Who alone art compassionate. Hearken, O Adam, and rejoice with Eve, for He Who formerly stripped you both and took thee captive through beguilement, is laid low by the cross of Christ. Our Savior, having been nailed by Thine own will upon the tree, Thou hast destroyed the curse of the tree that lay on Adam and as Thou art compassionate, Thou hast given those in Thine image a dwelling place in Paradise. Today Christ is risen from the tomb giving all the faithful incorruption and He gives back joy to the women bearing myrrh: After the Passion, the Resurrection! Rejoice O ye wise women bearing myrrh, first to see the Resurrection of Christ, and Who announced to the apostles the good tidings thereof, that is, the restoration of the whole world. Ye apostles appearing as friends of Christ having the same throne as His in glory intercede as His disciples for us to stand before Him with boldness. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ |
