When Thou didst descend to death, O Life Immortal, Thou didst slay hell
with the splendor of Thy Godhead! And when from the depths Thou didst
raise the dead, all the powers of heaven cried out: O Giver of Life!
Christ our God! Glory to Thee!
Glory to the Father.... Now and ever....
Hell became afraid, O Almighty Savior, seeing the miracle of Thy
resurrection from the tomb! The dead arose! Creation, with Adam, beheld
this and rejoiced with Thee! And the world, O my Savior, praises Thee
forever.
