Ode 1. Tone 4. The Irmos.
Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash
‘You struck Egypt and drowned the tyrant Pharao in the sea, and saved a people from slavery, as they sang Moses’ song of victory: For he has been glorified.’
**Theotokion.**
The Buried has arisen, and with him raised the human race; let all creation rejoice, and let all the spiritual clouds to-day clearly rain down justice.
Having willingly accepted the cross in the flesh, you rose on the third day from the dead, Lord, source of life, emptying Hell’s storehouses and leading out the fettered souls.
O Lord, who lay the beams of your chambers on the water, you are the water of life and you granted hallowed streams to the woman of Samaria when she asked, for she recognised your compassion.
O Trinity, Father, Son and Spirit, as maker of all things save those who glorify you with pure faith, and grant pardon of our sins, as you are supremely good.
Hail throne of fire, hail lampstand all of gold, hail cloud of light, hail palace of the Word, and spiritual table, who fittingly carry Christ, the bread of life.
