Let us, the faithful, praise and worship the Word, coeternal with the
Father and the Spirit, born for our salvation from the Virgin; for He
willed to be lifted up on the Cross in the flesh, to endure death, and to
raise the dead by His glorious Resurrection.
Glory to the Father.... Now and ever....
Thou didst descend into hell, O my Savior, shattering its gates as
Almighty; resurrecting the dead as Creator, and destroying the sting of
death. Thou hast delivered Adam from the curse, O Lover of Man, and we
all cry to Thee: O Lord, save us!
