Evlogitaria Matins

From Sunday Matins, the Evlogitaria of the Resurrection. Znamenny Tone 5. Three chanters (TTB). August 2 2009.

+Blessed art Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes.

The assembly of angels was amazed to see thee numbered among the dead, Thou who hadst destroyed the might of death, O Saviour, and who hast raised up Adam with Thyself, and who hast freed all men from Hades.

+Blessed art Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes.

Why do ye mingle myrrh with tears of compassion, O ye women disciples? The radiant angel in the grave addressed the myrrh-bearing women: Behold the grave and exult, for the Saviour hath arisen from the sepulcher.

+Blessed art Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes.

At early morn the myrrh-bearers hastened to thy sepulcher with lamentation; but an angel came to them and said: The time for sorrow is ended; weep no more. And tell the Apostles of the Resurrection.

+Blessed art Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes.

The myrrh-bearing women came with myrrh unto thy tomb, O Saviour, and they heard an angel saying unto them: Why do ye count the Living among the dead? For, as God, he is risen from the sepulcher.

+Blessed art Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes.

+Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
We worship +the Father and his Son and the Holy Spirit, the Holy Trinity, one in Essence, and we cry out with the seraphim:

+Holy, Holy, Holy are Thou, O Lord!

+Now and forever, and unto ages of ages, amen.

By giving birth to the Giver of Life, O Virgin, thou didst rescue Adam from sin, and thou didst grant Eve joy instead of sorrow; for the God and Man who was incarnate of thee guided back to life him that had fallen away therefrom.

+Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, glory to Thee, O God!
+Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, glory to Thee, O God!
+Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, glory to Thee, O God!
