Heavens rejoice and the Hosts of

Angels exult; the whole earth

rejoices, singing a Hymn of

Departure to Thee, O Mother of Him

Who is Lord of all; All Holy Virgin

who knew not wedlock, Thou who

delivered mankind from the

Ancestral Condemnation.

Arise, O Lord, into Thy Rest, Thou and

the Ark of Thy Holiness.

The first/called of the Apostles

hastened from the regions by Divine

Miracle to lay Thee away. And when

they saw Thee Ascending from earth

to Heaven they joyfully shouted to

Thee in the tone of Gabriel: Hail, O

Chariot of the whole Godhead! Hail,

O Thou whose Birth/giving alone

united the earthly with the Heavenly

Ones!

The Lord swore to David this Truth,

and He shall not reject it: I shall set upon your Throne One from the Fruit of your loins.

O Bride of God, the Virgin Mother, who

gave Birth to Life, Thou has moved,

by Thy solemn Falling/asleep, to

Immortal Life, surrounded by

Angels, Archangels and Powers,

Creation. As for Thy blameless soul,

Thy Son took it up in His pure

Hands.

Praise Him for His Mighty Acts;

praise Him according to the greatness of His Majesty.

With Thy Cross, Christ Saviour, guide

endured Cross and Death in the

Flesh; but Risen from the dead, Thou

granted the human race Immortality,

as Thou alone art All Powerful!

bringing forth a Sun to those who

are in darkness and error.

Ode 6

Verily, the Fire in the vitals of the

Thy Three/day Burial, of which

Jonah was a exemplar; for having

escaped without hurt when he was

sacrifice to Thee with the voice of

Thanksgiving, O Lord. Ode 7

Verily, the Divine Passion defeated the

bestial wrath and fire, moistening

the fire, and with Inspired Words

issuing forth from the three/voiced

Song of the Righteous Ones,

scorning wrath, opposing the

musical instruments, as they sang in

the midst of the flames, shouting,

Blessed art Thou, O Glorified One,

the God of our Fathers.

Ode 8

We Praise, we Bless and we Worship

the Lord!

The All Powerful Angel of God revealed

to the Children a Flame that brought

refreshment to the Holy while it

consumed the ungodly. And He

made the Theotokos into a Life/

giving Fount, gushing forth to the

destruction of Death and to the Life

of those who sing: “We who have delivered praise to the One and Only

Creator exalt Him above all forever!”

Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary

Magdalene, Mary the Mother of

that they might go and anoint Him.

Very early in the morning, on the first

day of the week, they went to the

Tomb when the sun had risen.

And they said among themselves:

“Who will roll away the stone from the door of the Tomb for us?”

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away

/ for it was very large.

And entering the Tomb, they saw a

young man clothed in a long white

robe sitting on the right side; and

they were alarmed.

But he said to them: “Do not be

alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, Who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

O Mitran ikisas Aiparthenon.

Neither the tomb nor Death has power

over the Theotokos, who is Ever/

watchful in her Prayers and in whose

Intercession lies unfailing Hope. For

as the Mother of Life she has been

transported into Life by Him Who

dwelt within her Ever Virgin Womb.

Ikos of the Resurrection – Tone 4

Ton anastanta ek nekron, Hriston ton zoodotin, triimeron ek tafou, ke pilas tou thantou simeron sinthlasanta, ti dinami ti aftou, ton Adin te nekrosanta, ke to kentron tou thantou sintripsanta, ke ton Adam sin ti Eva eleftherosanta, imnisomen pantes i gigenis, evharistos voontes enon ektenos: Aftos gar os monos krateos, Theos ke Despotis, Anesti triimeros.

Let all of us who are born of earth sing the praises of Christ the Governor of

Life Who Rose from the dead on the

third day from the Tomb, and by His

Power today smashed the Gates of

Death, put Hades to death and

crushed the sting of Death, set Adam

free with Eve, as with thanksgiving

we cry aloud our fervent praise: For

He as alone the Mighty God and

Master, Arose on the third day.

Ikos of the Dormition

Tihison mou tas frenas Sotir mou. To

gar Tihos tou kosmou animnise tolmo, tin ahranton Mitera sou. En pirgo rimaton enishison me, ke en varesin ennion ohiroson me. Si gar voas ton etounton pistos tas etisis pliroun. Si oun mi dories glottan, proforan, ke logismon akateshinton. Pasa gar dosis ellampseos para sou katapempete fotagoge, O Mitran ikisas Aiparthenon.

Set a rampart about my mind, O my Saviour, for I make bold to sing the

praises of Thy Most Pure Mother, the

Rampart of the world. Establish me

firmly within the fortress of my

words and make me strong within the

defences of my thoughts: for Thou

promises to fulfil the Petitions of

those who entreat Thee with Faith.

Endue me with a tongue and ready

speech, and with thoughts that are

without shame: for every Gift of

Enlightenment is sent down from


Thee, O Guiding Light, Who dwelt

within Her Ever/ Virgin Womb.

Ode 1

Thy noble solemn Memorial, O Virgin,

adorned with Divine Glory, has

brought all Believers rejoicing

together as Miriam did of old,

coming forward with timbrels and

dances, singing to Thine Only Son;

for in Glory He has been Glorified. Ode 3

Christ, Wisdom of God and His creating

and Almighty Power, establish Thy

Church without guile, and unshaken;

for Thou alone art Holy, O Thou who

dwells among the Holy. Ode 4

The sayings of the Prophets, O Christ,

and their Symbols explained clearly

Thine Incarnation of the Virgin; and

the Brilliance of Thy Lightning

sends forth Light to the Gentiles, and

the deep calls out to Thee shouting

with joy: Glory to Thy Might, O Lover

of mankind!
