Thou had Truly Risen from the

Tomb, Thou ordered the Holy
Women
to
proclaim
the
Resurrection to the Apostles, as it is
written; and Peter, coming at full
speed, stood by the Tomb and
seeing the Light in the Tomb, was
struck with amazement. And so he
both saw the grave clothes lying
there alone, without the Divine
Body, and he believed and cried out:
Glory to Thee, O Christ God,
because Thou savest us all, our
Saviour: for Thou art the Brightness
of the Father!

offer Thee Thine own of Thine own,
and from the Wealth of Thy Virtues, I
may have the wherewithal to Crown
