  • Grave Tone

    For through her the salvation of all mortals hath come. We have not the strength to look upon her, and it is not possible to render her worthy honour.

    Plagal Fourth Tone

    Wherefore, O immaculate Theotokos, who livest forever with thy Son, the life-bearing King, ever intercede that He guard and save from all adverse assaults thy new people, for we posses thy protection.

    First Tone

    And unto the ages we bless thee in beauty and light.

  • Plagal of Second Tone

    Seized with dread, they accompanied thine inviolate body that had held God, and in a manner transcending that of this world, they went on before thee crying unseen to the hierarchies on high: Behold the Queen of all, the Maid of God, is come.

    Third Tone

    Life ye up the gates, and in a manner transcending that of this world, receive the Mother of the Everlasting Light.

  • @SeekingSeraphim St Anthony's monastery website has it in both Byzantine and Wester notation. It is not this one, but it is similar.

  • Beautiful!  I would love to get a copy of the musical setting for this to use at our Vespers service. It would sure beat doing choppy transitions between the tones.

  • Awesome!

  • Absolutely beautiful and inspiring.

  • First Tone

    Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

    By divine command, the God-bearing Apostles were caught up and brought from over the world by the clouds on high.

    Plagal of First Tone

    Reaching thine all immaculate body, the source of Life, they kissed it with exceeding honour.

    Second Tone

    The highest powers of the Heavens stood by with their own Master.
