  all the ages.\n\nGlory to your holy Resurrection\, O Lord.\n\nThe undefil

 end the offerings according to the law and as God\, apart from transgressi

 nd highly exalt him throughout all the ages.\n\nGlory to your holy Resurre
 ction\, O Lord.\n\nThe flesh the Maker took from us before his Passion was
  not incorruptible\; but after Passion and Rising\, it was rendered inacce
 ssible to corruption and re-makes mortal men\, who cry: Praise the Lord\, 
 all his works\, and highly exalt him throughout all the ages.\n\nGlory… 
 Now…\n\nYour purity\, your total spotlessness\, O Virgin\, has cleansed

 nfinite Maker:* we magnify you.\n\nGlory to your holy Resurrection\, O Lor
 d.\n\nBe silent\, you minds estranged\, who fit suffering to the divinity\
 ; for we magnify the Lord of glory\, crucified in the flesh but not crucif
 ied in the divine nature: one person in two natures.\n\nGlory to your holy
  Resurrection\, O Lord.\n\nAll you who deny the body’s resurrection\, go
  to the tomb of Christ and learn that the flesh of the giver of life was p
 ut to death and rose again in assurance of the final resurrection\; for th
 is we hope.\n\nWe bless the Lord\, Father\, Son\, and Holy Spirit\, now an
 d for ever and ever. Amen.\n\nAs we worship not a trinity of Godheads but 
 of persons\, not oneness of persons but of Godhead\, we part from those wh
 o divide and confound those who dare to confuse the Trinity whom we magnif
 y.\n\nSmall Litany\n\nHoly is the Lord\n\nHymn of Light\n\nWhen the myrrh-
