5 At the Kyrie Ekekraksa O Lord, I have cried to You, hear me; hear me, O Lord. O Lord, I have cried to You, hear me; attend to the voice of my supplication when I cry to You, hear me, O Lord. Let my prayer be set forth, as incense before You, the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice, O Lord. Resurrection Stichera 5 Εἰς τὸ «Κύριε, Ἐκέκραξα» Κύριε ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ, εἰσάκουσόν µου, εἰσάκουσόν µου, Κύριε. Κύριε, ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ, εἰσάκουσόν µου πρόσχες τῇ φωνῇ τῆς δεήσεώς µου, ἐν τῷ κεκραγέναι µε πρὸς σὲ εἰσάκουσόν µου, Κύριε. Κατευθυνθήτω ἡ προσευχή µου, ὡς θυµίαµα ἐνώπιόν σου, ἔπαρσις τῶν χειρῶν µου θυσία ἑσπερινὴ εἰσάκουσόν µου, Κύριε. Στιχηρὰ Ἀναστάσιµα Tone 1 Ἦχος α If You should mark iniquities, Lord, O Lord, who shall stand? For with You there is forgiveness. Accept our evening prayers, O Holy Lord, and grant us remission of sins; for You alone revealed Your resurrection to the world. For Your name s sake I have patiently waited for You, O Lord; my soul has waited patiently for Your word, my soul has hoped in the Lord. Encircle Sion, O people, and surround it; give glory there to Him Who rose from the dead, for He is our God and has delivered us from our sins. From the morning watch until night, from the morning watch let Israel hope in the Lord. Come O people, let us hymn and worship Christ, glorifying His resurrection from the dead; for He is our God and has delivered the world from the deception of the enemy. Anatolian Stichera For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption; and He shall redeem Israel out of all his iniquities. O heavens rejoice, O foundations of the earth sound the trumpets, O mountains cry with joy. For behold Emmanuel has nailed our sins to the Cross, and the Life has caused death to die, thus raising Adam for He loves mankind. Ἐὰν ἀνοµίας παρατηρήσῃς, Κύριε, Κύριε τίς ὑποστήσεται; ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ ὁ ἱλασµός ἐστιν. Τὰς ἑσπερινὰς ἡµῶν εὐχάς, πρόσδεξαι Ἅγιε Κύριε, καὶ παράσχου ἡµῖν, ἄφεσιν ἁµαρτιῶν, ὅτι µόνος εἶ ὁ δείξας, ἐν κόσµῳ τὴν ἀνάστασιν. Ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόµατός σου ὑπέµεινά σε, Κύριε ὑπέµεινεν ἡ ψυχή µου εἰς τὸν λόγον σου, ἤλπισεν ἡ ψυχή µου ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον. Κυκλώσατε λαοὶ Σιών, καὶ περιλάβετε αὐτήν, καὶ δότε δόξαν ἐν αὐτῇ, τῷ ἀναστάντι ἐκ νεκρῶν ὅτι αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς ἡµῶν, ὁ λυτρωσάµενος ἡµᾶς, ἐκ τῶν ἀνοµιῶν ἡµῶν. Ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας µέχρι νυκτός, ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας, ἐλπισάτω Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον. Δεῦτε λαοὶ ὑµνήσωµεν, καὶ προσκυνήσωµεν Χριστόν, δοξάζοντες αὐτοῦ τὴν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀνάστασιν ὅτι αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς ἡµῶν, ὁ ἐκ τῆς πλάνης τοῦ ἐχθροῦ, τὸν κόσµον λυτρωσάµενος. Στιχηρὰ Ἀνατολικὰ Ὅτι παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἔλεος καὶ πολλὴ παρ αὐτῷ λύτρωσις καὶ αὐτὸς λυτρώσεται τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν ἀνοµιῶν αὐτοῦ. Εὐφράνθητε οὐρανοί, σαλπίσατε τὰ θεµέλια τῆς γῆς, βοήσατε τὰ ὄρη εὐφροσύνην ἰδοὺ γὰρ ὁ Ἐµµανουὴλ τὰς ἁµαρτίας ἡµῶν, τῷ Σταυρῷ προσήλωσε, καὶ ζωὴν ὁ διδούς, θάνατον ἐνέκρωσε, τὸν Ἀδὰµ ἀναστήσας, ὡς φιλάνθρωπος.

6 Praise the Lord, all you nations; praise Him, all you peoples. Let us hymn the One Who was willingly crucified in the flesh for our sake, Who suffered, died, and rose from the dead, saying: confirm Your church in Orthodoxy, O Christ, and grant peace to our lives, for You are good and love mankind. For He has made His mercy to prevail over us, and the truth of the Lord abides to the ages. Let us the unworthy stand by Your life-giving tomb, giving glory to Your ineffable compassion, Christ our God; for You accepted crucifixion and death, O sinless One, so as to bestow resurrection upon the world, for You love mankind. Anatolian Sticheron 6 Αἰνεῖτε τὸν Κύριον πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἐπαινέσατε αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ λαοί. Τὸν σαρκὶ ἑκουσίως σταυρωθέντα δι ἡµᾶς, παθόντα καὶ ταφέντα, καὶ ἀναστάντα ἐκ νεκρῶν, ὑµνήσωµεν λέγοντες Στήριξον ὀρθοδοξίᾳ τὴν Ἐκκλησίαν σου Χριστέ, καὶ εἰρήνευσον τὴν ζωὴν ἡµῶν, ὡς ἀγαθὸς καὶ φιλάνθρωπος. Ὅτι ἐκραταιώθη τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἐφ ἡµᾶς, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ Κυρίου µένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. Τῷ ζωοδόχῳ σου τάφῳ, παρεστῶτες οἱ ἀνάξιοι, δοξολογίαν προσφέροµεν τῇ ἀφάτῳ σου εὐσπλαγχνίᾳ, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἡµῶν ὅτι Σταυρὸν κατεδέξω, καὶ θάνατον Ἀναµάρτητε, ἵνα τῷ κόσµῳ δωρήσῃ τὴν ἀνάστασιν, ὡς φιλάνθρωπος. Στιχηρὸν Ἀνατολικὸν Tone 1 Ἦχος α Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Let us praise the Word without beginning and co-eternal with the Father, Who came forth ineffably from the virgin womb, Who willingly accepted crucifixion and death for our sake, and Who rose in glory; let us say: glory to You, O life-giving Lord, the Savior of our souls. The First Theotokion of the Tone Δόξα Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ καὶ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύµατι. Τὸν τῷ Πατρὶ συνάναρχον, καὶ συναΐδιον Λόγον, τὸν ἐκ παρθενικῆς νηδύος προελθόντα ἀφράστως, καὶ Σταυρὸν καὶ θάνατον δι ἡµᾶς ἑκουσίως καταδεξάµενον, καὶ ἀναστάντα ἐν δόξῃ, ὑµνήσωµεν λέγοντες Ζωοδότα Κύριε, δόξα σοι, ὁ Σωτὴρ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡµῶν. Τό α Θεοτοκίον τοῦ ἤχου Tone 1 Ἦχος α Now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Let us praise Mary the Virgin, the glory of the whole world, born of human seed and Mother of the Master: the heavenly gate, the praise of the bodiless spirits, and the beauty of believers. She indeed did appear as paradise and tabernacle of the Divinity. She tore down the middle wall of partition, the intervening enmity; she brought peace and opened the kingdom. Let us therefore hold fast to her, for she is the anchor of the faith; let us receive the Lord born as a child from her. Take courage, O people of God, for He Who is almighty shall fight against our enemies. Καὶ νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Τὴν παγκόσµιον δόξαν, τὴν ἐξ ἀνθρώπων σπαρεῖσαν, καὶ τὸν Δεσπότην τεκοῦσαν, τὴν ἐπουράνιον πύλην, ὑµνήσωµεν Μαρίαν τὴν Παρθένον, τῶν Ἀσωµάτων τὸ ᾆσµα, καὶ τῶν πιστῶν τὸ ἐγκαλλώπισµα αὕτη γὰρ ἀνεδείχθη οὐρανός, καὶ ναὸς τῆς Θεότητος αὕτη τὸ µεσότοιχον τῆς ἔχθρας καθελοῦσα, εἰρήνην ἀντεισῆξε, καὶ τὸ Βασίλειον ἠνέῳξε. Ταύτην οὖν κατέχοντες, τῆς πίστεως τὴν ἄγκυραν, ὑπέρµαχον ἔχοµεν, τὸν ἐξ αὐτῆς τεχθέντα Κύριον. Θαρσείτω τοίνυν, θαρσείτω λαὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ γάρ αὐτὸς πολεµήσει τοὺς ἐχθρούς, ὡς παντοδύναµος.

19 Katavasiai of Pascha by Saint John of Damascus Tone 1 Ode 1 This is the day of resurrection, let us be radiant O people: Pascha, the Lord's Pascha. For Christ our God has passed us from death to life, and from earth to heaven, we who sing the song of victory. Ode 3 Come, let us drink a new drink, not one wondrously brought forth from a barren rock, but from the fount of incorruption, which springs forth, from the tomb of Christ, in Whom we are established. Ode 4 The inspired Prophet Habbakuk now stands with us in holy vigil, he is like a shining angel, who cries with a piercing voice: Today salvation has come to the world, for Christ is risen as all-powerful. Ode 5 Let us rise early at the break of dawn, and offer a hymn instead of myrrh to the Master. And let us behold Christ the Son of righteousness, Who causes life to rise for all. Ode 6 You descended, into the depths of the earth, and shattered the everlasting bars, which kept the dead captive. And like Jonah from the whale, You arose O Christ from the tomb, on the third day. Ypakoë Read (Tone 4) Those who came with Mary anticipated the dawn, but found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher and heard the Angel say: Why do you seek Him Who abides in everlasting light among those who are dead, as though He were merely a mortal man? See the graveclothes: go quickly and proclaim to the world that the Lord is risen, and has put death to death; for He is the Son of God, Who saves the human race.

For you beheld Christ your King as a bridegroom, coming forth from the tomb. So let sinners perish at the presence of God, and let the righteous be glad. When the myrrh-bearing women, very early in the morning, came and stood before the tomb of the Life Giver, they found an Angel, sitting upon the stone. And he cried out these words to them saying: Why do you seek, the Living among the dead? Why do you mourn, the Incorruptible among those subject to decay? But go, and proclaim the good news, unto His disciples! Αἰνεῖτε αὐτὸν ἐν κυµβάλοις εὐήχοις, αἰνεῖτε αὐτὸν ἐν κυµβάλοις ἀλαλαγµοῦ. Πᾶσα πνοὴ αἰνεσάτω τὸν Κύριον.
