No longer does the might of Death have
power to keep mortals captive: for
Christ came down, breaking in pieces
and destroying its power. Now
Hades is bound, the Prophets with
Joy in unison declare: The Saviour
has appeared to those with Faith.
COME OUT YOU FAITHFUL TO THE
RESURRECTION!

All that is beneath the earth, Hades and
Death, trembled today before One of

rejoicing wiht the Prophet, sins Thee

God Who destroyed the power of
Death. Let us shout with Joy and cry

Christ is Born: Glorify Him! Christ has
descended from Heaven: Receive
Him! Christ is on earth: Elevate Him!
O all the earth: sing to the Lord! Sing
praises in gladness, O ye people, for
He has been Glorified!
the Son Who was Begotten of the
Father without change before all
ages, and in the Last Times, without
Christ our God let us cry aloud:
Thou hast raised up our horn! Holy
art Thou, O Lord!
Rod of the Root of Jesse, and Flower
that blossomed from his stem, O
Christ, Thou hast sprung from the
Virgin. From the Mountain
overshadowed by the Forest Thou
hast come, made Flesh from her that
knew not wedlock, O God Who art
not formed from matter. ✞ Glory to
Thy Power, O Lord!
As Thou art God of Peace and Father of
Mercies, Thou hast sent to us Thine
Angel of Great Counsel, granting us
Peace. So are we guided towards the
Light of the Knowledge of God, and,
watching by night, we Glorify Thee,
O Lover of mankind!
The sea monster spat forth Jonah as it
had received him - like a babe from
the womb - while the Word, having
dwelt in the Virgin and taken Flesh,
came forth from Her yet kept Her
uncorrupted. For being Himself not
subject to decay, He preserved His
Mother free from harm.
Scorning the impious Decree, the
Children brought up together in
Godliness feared not the threat of
fire - while standing in the midst of
the flames, they sang “O God of our
Fathers, Blessed art Thou!”
ke ✞We Praise, we Bless and we Worship
the Lord!
The furnace - moist with Dew - was the
image and figure of a Wonder
beyond nature. For it burnt not the
Children whom it had received, even
as the Fire of the Godhead
consumed not the Virgin’s Womb
into which It had descended.
