Victorious nature hymns Thee, Thou orb of triple ray; For Thou hast hallowed it through grace And borne its sin away.

In faith we laud the Father, The Spirit and the Son, One Nature, One Divinity, One God, yet Three in One.

To Thee our God be glory, O Holy Trinity, Both now, and while the ages run To all eternity.

Thy mighty word commanding, The heavens were settled high, And earth to Thee responding Was spread beneath the sky.

O God of power, Thy servants Would seek Thy power divine, That they their hearts to love Thee May evermore incline.

And gazing on the glory That shines in triple ray, Our souls shall feast with gladness On Thy sweet light alway.

And of Thy glory shining, And of Thy ruling light, From age to age Thy servants Shall hymn both day and night.

To Thee be lasting praises, Immortal Three in One,-- Thou Father, Son, and Spirit,-- Now, and while ages run.

Exapostilarion Automelon

The early dawn awakes, The morn triumphant breaks, See, see! the brightening sky, The Saviour from on high Is with us here.

And we who sat in night, Rejoicing see the Light; The shadows now are past, The Dayspring come at last And day is near.

For we have found the Truth; The Son of Virgin youth, The Saviour hath been born This glorious festal morn, And joys appear.

Troparia of The Sixth Hour

Before Thy Cross we take our place, With all our load of guilt, And plead forgiveness of Thy grace Because Thy blood was spilt.

For Thou, to free us from our foes, Didst bear that cruel Cross, And by its agony and woes Bring gain for all our loss.

Therefore we raise with one accord Our songs right thankfully, For joy and peace, O Christ our Lord, We owe in full to Thee.

Ode V

O Christ, Who art the peerless Light, Come with Thy presence ever bright, And from the Father's throne above Descend to hearts that own Thy love.

Thy Cross no shame to mortals brings; The world with joy its glory sings; And men, O Christ, before Thee bow-- All hail! Thy Resurrection now.

Ah Thou, our Lord, the Shepherd good, Upon that Cross poured forth Thy blood, And with Thy last expiring breath Didst save Thy flock from endless death.

And death of all his power is shorn, And men to joy and peace are born, For from their sins' oppressive sway Forgiveness bears their souls away.

Glory to Thee, O God, we bring, And to the Son, our Heavenly King, And to the Holy Ghost always, Now, and throughout the endless days.

Stichera

All hail, life-bearing Cross, The trophy of the good, Thy bloom is fragrance on our way, Thy fruit our heavenly food.

Entrance to paradise, Strength of all faithful souls; The Church's fortress when the foe His banner grim unrolls.

O shield of our defence, And foe of all our foes; The glory of the saints of God, Their crown for all their woes.

Who follow Christ the Lord, Their beauty find in thee; Their harbour of salvation thou, Now and eternally.

Antiphon

Come, mortals, come behold! He hangs upon the tree, Who made the rolling sea The new formed earth uphold.

See! He is crowned with thorns, The King of angels great, Who in His high estate A glorious crown adorns.

Derided, see Him wear A robe of purple dye, Who robes the noon-day sky With clouds that float on air.
