  \n\nTone 6 \n\nLead my soul forth from prison* that I may give thanks t
 o Your name. \n\nO Christ\, You won the victory over Hades\,* You ascend
 ed the cross so that You might raise up with Yourself* all those who dwel
 t in the darkness of death.* Almighty Saviour\, You are free from death*
  and bestow life by Your divine light.* We\, therefore\, beseech You to h
 ave mercy on us. \n\nThe just shall gather around me* when You have been 
 good to me. \n\nToday Christ has conquered Death.* He has risen from th
 e grave as He had foretold\,* bestowing great joy upon the world.* The
 refore\, let us all lift up our voices and sing:* O Fount of Life\, O Li
 ght whom no one can approach\,* Almighty Saviour\, have mercy on us. \n
 \nOut of the depths I cry to You\, O Lord\;* O Lord\, hear my voice! \n
 \nO Lord\, where can we sinners flee from You\,* for You are present in 
 all creation?* You are present in heaven\, for it is Your dwelling plac
 e.* Your power prevails in Hades where You conquered Death.* O Master\,
  Your sustaining hand touches even the depths of the sea.* Where\, then\
 , can we take refuge except in You?* We\, therefore\, prostrate ourselve
 s before You and pray:* O Lord\, risen from the dead\, have mercy on us.
  \n\nLet Your ears be attentive* to the voice of my prayer. \n\nWe exult
  in Your cross\, O Christ\,* and we sing the glory of Your resurrection
 .* For You are our God\, and we have no other Lord but You. \n\nIf You m
 ark iniquities\, Lord\, who can stand?* But with You forgiveness is th
 at You may be revered. \n\nGlory to Your might\, O Lord\,* for You ha
 ve conquered the power of death.* You have renewed us through Your cros
 s\,* granting us life and incorruption. \n\nI have waited for You as Yo
 u have commanded\; my soul patiently relies on Your promise\,* for it ha
 s trusted in the Lord. \n\nWe forever bless the Lord and praise His resu
 rrection\,* for by suffering crucifixion\,* He has destroyed death by H
 is death. \n\nTone 4\, Podoben “As valiant among the martyrs…” \
 n\nFrom the morning watch until night* let Israel trust in the Lord. \n\n
 O Michael\, supreme commander\,* shown forth as a most radiant intercess
 or before the three-Sunned Godhead\,* you cry out\, rejoicing with the h
 eavenly hosts:* Holy are You\, O Father!* Holy are You\, O co-unorigin
 ate Son!* Holy are You also\, O Holy Spirit!* One glory\, one Kingdom 
 and nature\,* one Godhead and power! \n\nFor with the Lord there is mer
 cy\, and with Him there is plentiful redemption\;* and He shall redeem I
 srael from all its iniquities. \n\nO Michael\, supreme commander\,* sho
 wn forth as a most radiant intercessor before the three-Sunned Godhead\,*
  you cry out\, rejoicing with the heavenly hosts:* Holy are You\, O Fa
 ther!* Holy are You\, O co-unoriginate Son!* Holy are You also\, O Holy
  Spirit!* One glory\, one Kingdom and nature\,* one Godhead and power!
  \n\nPraise the Lord\, all the nations\;* proclaim His glory\, all you 
 people. \n\nYour aspect is fiery\, and your beauty wondrous\, O Michael\,
  first among angels\,* for in your immaterial nature you transcend the e
 nds of the earth\,* fulfilling the commandments of the Creator of all\,
 * known in the power of your might\, making your church a wellspring of
  healings\,* revered in your holy name. \n\nStrong is the love of the L
 ord for us\;* eternally will His truth endure. \n\nO You who\, as it is
  written\, make Your angels spirits and Your ministers a flame of fire:*
  amid the ranks of Your archangels\, O Lord\,* You have shown forth as 
 preeminent Michael\, the supreme commander\,* who obeys Your behest\, O
  Word\,* and with fear utters the thrice-holy hymn to Your glory. \n\nT

 or the great supreme commander\, your superior and our intercessor\,* ap
 pearing most wondrously this day in his honoured temple\, sanctifies it.*
  Therefore\, chanting as is meet\, let us cry aloud to him:* Cover us w
 ith the shelter of your wings\, O Michael\, greatest of the archangels! \
 n\nNow… \n\nWho would not call you blessed\, O Virgin most holy?* Who 
 would not sing a hymn of praise* to the glory of your giving birth withou
 t pain or travail?* The Only-begotten Son Himself\,* begotten of the Fat
 her before all ages\,* was made flesh out of you in a manner* that canno
 t be explained\, O Woman most pure!* And for our sake\, He who is God by 
 nature* assumed the nature of a man.* He is not divided into two persons
 \;* He is understood to have two natures* without commixion or confusi
 on.* O noble and blessed Woman\,* intercede with Him that He may have me
 rcy on our souls. \n\nAposticha \n\nTone 6 \n\nO Christ our Saviour\,*
  the angels in heaven sing the praises of Your resurrection\;* make us 
 on earth also worthy* to extol and glorify You with a pure heart. \n\nTh
 e Lord reigns\, He is clothed in majesty. Robed is the Lord\, and girt a
 bout with strength. \n\nAlmighty God\, You destroyed the brazen gates a
 nd bars of Hades\,* and raised up fallen mankind.* Therefore\, with on
 e accord\, we cry out:* O Lord\, risen from the dead\, glory to You! \n
 \nFor He has made the world firm\, which shall not be moved. \n\nChrist w
 illed to renew us from our corruption of old* by being nailed to a cross 
 and placed in a tomb.* When the women came to anoint His body they tearfu
 lly cried out:* O\, what sorrow afflicts us!* O Saviour of All\, how cou
 ld You consent to occupy a grave?* If you truly willed this\, then why di
 d You allow Your body to be stolen?* How were You removed?* What place n
 ow conceals Your life-bearing body?* O Lord\, appear to us as You promise
 d* and put an end to our tears.* As they were lamenting\, an angel appea
 red and cried out to them:* Do not weep\, but tell the apostles that the 
 Lord is risen\,* granting sanctification and great mercy to the world. \
 n\nHoliness befits Your house\, O Lord\, for length of days. \n\nO Christ
 \, You were crucified of Your own free will\,* and by Your burial You 
 imprisoned Death.* As God\, You rose in glory on the third day\,* gr
 anting life and great mercy to the world. \n\nTone 8\, Glory…  \n\nO 
 supreme commander\, as general\, champion\, and chief of the angels\,* f
 rom all want and grief\, from afflictions and grievous sins* free them tha
 t hymn and beseech you with faith\, O glorious one\,* for you are manife
 stly immaterial\, beholding the Immaterial One\,* illumined with the una
 pproachable light of the Master's glory.* For in His love for mankind He
  took flesh of the Virgin for our sake\,* wishing to save the human race
 . \n\nNow… \n\nO Virgin\, You have never known wedlock\,* Yet You 
 conceived God in the flesh* in a manner which words can never describe.*
  You thus became the Mother of God on high.* O Immaculate Lady\, rece
 ive the supplication of your servants* and grant us the cleansing of our
  sins.* Accept now our prayers and beseech God to save all of us. \n\nT

  \n\nTone 4\, Glory...  \n\nPrinces of the heavenly hosts\,* we\, th

 rs on high!” \n\nNow... \n\nO Mother of God\, the mystery hidden from 
 all eternity* and unknown even to the angels\,* was revealed through you
  to those on earth:* God took on our human nature* and united it to His 
 divine nature in a perfect but unconfused union.* Then\, He willingly ac
 cepted the cross for our sake* and thereby raised again the first created
 \,* and saved our souls from death. \n\nGREAT MATINS ON SUNDAY MORNING

 e\, and the flaming sword is turned back at sight of you\, O Word of God\,
  in truth the God who makes for the Thief the path to Paradise. \n\nGlory
  to your holy Resurrection\, O Lord. \n\nI fear no longer the return to t

 you have led me\, forgotten\, from the dust to the heights of incorruptio
 n. \n\nGlory… Now… \n\nO good Lady of the world\, keep safe those wh
 o from the heart confess you God-bearer\, for we have gained you\, true Mo

 nnulled the curse upon us\; pierced in the side by the spear\, you tore up
  the written scroll against Adam\, and set the whole world free. \n\n
 Glory to your holy Resurrection\, O Lord. \n\nDeception tripped up Adam a

 him up with yourself. \n\nGlory… Now… \n\nAll-holy Lady\, who bore t
 o mortal man his Lord and pilot\, quieten the fearful and unresting tumu

 our cross and your burial\, for you entered Hell\, O deathless one\, as Go
 d of all power\, and raising the dead with yourself and shattering the gat

 the dead\, overthrowing the might of the all-destroying foe\, raising up a
 ll who believe in you\, delivering the world from the stings of the serpen
 t and us from the wiles of the enemy\, as the one who alone possesses the 
 power. Devoutly we sing\, therefore\, the praises of your resurrection\, f
 or by this\, as God of all\, you have saved us. \n\n \n\nOde 7 \n\nIrmo

 O Lord\, drew darkness around him and the light of the day was darkened ov
 er the whole of the earth\, which cried aloud: Blessed are you\, the God o
 f our fathers. \n\nGlory to your holy Resurrection\, O Lord. \n\nAt your
  descent\, O Christ\, the underworld was clothed in splendour\; our first

 ring about according to your holy will\;* we highly exalt you throughout
  the ages. \n\nGlory to your holy Resurrection\, O Lord. \n\nEnvy has fi
 nished its work on the people of the Jews: of old the slayers of the proph
 ets now they are slayers of God\; they set you upon the cross\, O Word of 
 God\, you whom we highly exalt throughout the ages. \n\nGlory to your hol
 y Resurrection\, O Lord. \n\nO Christ\, without leaving the courts of Hea

 lying m corruption\, and he highly exalts you now throughout the ages. \n
 \nGlory… Now… \n\nFrom light you conceived the light-giving Word\, in
 effably you gave him birth\, and are glorified. For the Holy Spirit dwelt 
 in you\, O Maid\, and therefore we praise you throughout the ages. \n\nMa

 ly hosts\,* we call you blessed. \n\nGlory to your holy Resurrection\, 
 O Lord. \n\nFree from passions you remained\, O Word of God\, when you h
 eld converse with passions in the flesh. But having dealt to passion a Pas

 d almighty\, our Saviour. \n\nGlory to your holy Resurrection\, O Lord. 
 \n\nAccepting the corruption of death\, O Lord\, you kept your body from t
 asting corruption\, and your soul\, life-giving\, divine\, was not left in
  Hell. But\, as from sleep arising\, you raised us up with yourself. \n\n
 We bless the Lord\, Father\, Son\, and Holy Spirit. \n\nWith pure lips we
  mortal men give glory to God the Father\, to the Son with him without beg

 nThe women came early dawn to Your tomb\, O Christ\,* but they did not fi
 nd Your venerable body.* As they were perplexed\, an angel in shining clo
 thes said to them:* Why do you seek the Living among the dead?* He is ri
 sen as He foretold.* Have you forgotten what He said?* Being assured by 
 the words of the angel\,* the women preached to the disciples about the t
 hings they saw.* But their good news was received with ridicule\;* for t
 he disciples were still without understanding.* Peter\, however\, hastene
 d to Your tomb and then glorified Your wonders\, O Lord. \n\nTone 2\, Now
 … \n\nYou are truly most blessed\, O virgin Mother of God.* Through t
 he One who was incarnate of you\,* Hades was chained\, Adam revived\, th
