Hymns of the Paschal Divine Liturgy

TROPARION OF EASTER IN TONE FIVE

Christ is risen from the dead, and by His death, He has trampled upon Death and has given life to those who were in the tombs.

HIPACOI OF EASTER IN TONE FOUR

Mary and her companions went forth before dawn. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, and heard the angel say: Why do you seek Him as a man among the dead, when He is in eternal splendor? Behold the shroud is folded. Hasten and proclaim to the world that the Lord is risen and has put death to death, for he is the Son of God, the Savior of mankind.

KONTAKION OF PASCHA

Though You went down to the tomb, O Immortal One, You overthrew the power of Hades, and rose victorious, O Christ God; You greeted the Ointment-bearing Women, saying: Rejoice! You gave peace to your Apostles, and to those who had fallen, resurrection.

From the Triodion

O venerable and holy father John, with full voice, you have unceasingly sung the praises of God. You have meditated upon His inspired words in the Scriptures that teach us how to make them wisely bear much fruit in the spiritual life. Having become rich in heavenly grace, you have deserved unending happiness and have overcome the plots of the ungodly.

By the streams of your tears, O glorious father John, your soul has been purified. By your vigils throughout the night, you have found favor with God. You were lifted up on the wings of prayer to His love and beauty, O blessed father; and now you rejoice in unending happiness with your fellow spiritual soldiers who fought the good fight, O holy saint of God.

From O Lord, to You I Call, Great Vespers, Fourth Sunday of Lent

Let us honor John, the pride of ascetics, an angel on earth, the man of God in Heaven, the adornment of the world, the flower of virtue and good deeds. Planted in the house of God, he blossomed forth with justice, like a cedar tree in the wilderness. He helped the flock of Christ to grow in holiness and justice.

O wondrous event exceeding every miracle that ever happened! Who ever heard that a mother could conceive without a man, and that she would hold in her arms the One who contains the whole universe? This was the will of the One who was born of you. O Woman most pure, never cease to intercede for us who honor you, together with the One you carried in your arms as a Child. You have the power of a Mother: therefore intercede with Him that He may have mercy on us and save our souls.

From the Aposticha, Great Vespers, Fourth Sunday of Lent

You are a true teacher for those in the monastic life, O holy John, setting out the steps of your lessons as a divine ladder leading us up through the purification of asceticism to the light of contemplation. O venerable father, entreat Christ our God to grant us His great mercy.

From the Triodion

Troparion of the Sunday of Orthodoxy in Tone Two

Before Your most pure Image we bow in worship, O Good Lord, begging forgiveness of our sins, O Christ God, becaure You chose of Your own free will to ascend upon the Cross in the flesh in order to deliver from the Enemy's bondage those You had created. For this reason, we cry out toyou in thanksgiving: You have filled all things with joy, O our savior, when You came to save the world!

Let us now set out with joy upoin the second week of the Fast. Like Elijah the Tishbite let us fahin for ourselves from day to day, O brethren, a fiery chariot from the four great virtues. Let us exalt our minds through freedom frm the passions. Let us arm our flesh with purity and our hands with acts of compasison. Let us make our feet beautiful with the preaching of the Gospel; and let us put the Enemy to flight and gain the victory.

O Lord, to You I call, Vespers, Monday, Second Week of Lent

Come, let us cleanse ourselves by almgiving and acts of mercy to the poor, not sounding a trumpet or making a show of our charity. let not our left hand know what our right hand is doing; let not vainglory scatter the fruit of our almsgiving; but in secret let us call upon Him who knows all secrets: Our Father, forgive us our trespasses, for You love mankind.

From the Aposticha, Vespers, Monday, Second Week of Great Lent
