Let the heavens rejoice! Let the earth be glad! For the Lord has shown
strength with His arm! He has trampled down death by death! He has become
the firstborn of the dead! He has delivered us from the depths of hell,
and has granted the world great mercy!
Glory to the Father.... Now and ever....
On this day Thou didst rise from the tomb, O Merciful One, leading us
from the gates of death. On this day Adam exults as Eve rejoices; with
the prophets and patriarchs they unceasingly praise the divine majesty of
Thy power!
