Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

As you were seen to be enlightened by the radiance of the Spirit, you were counted worthy to depict by your hands his laws for those who love God, those who sing with faith, ‘Glory to your power, O Lord!’

¶2

The grace of the Paraclete, having found you as his dwelling, was poured out richly on your lips, and revealed you as a herald of his peace to all those who sing with faith, ‘Glory to your power, O Lord!’

¶3

You appeared as companion to Paul in struggles, glorious Saint, and rightly were found worthy of the crowns of the kingdom. There you now rejoice together and cry with one accord: Glory to your power, O Lord.

¶4

The Lord, finding the beauty of your mind radiating in beauty with divine rays, appointed you as herald to those who sing with faith, ‘Glory to your power, O Lord!’

¶5

The Lord has put down the mighty from their thrones, as the Virgin and Mother said; but he has filled with divine blessings the hungry who sing with faith, ‘Glory to your power, O Lord!’
