The angelic counsel was amaz’d, seeing thee number’d with the dead, thee,
Saviour, who hast overthrown the might of death, hast raised Adam with
thyself, and freed all from hades.
Blessed art thou, O Lord....
Why, O disciples, do ye mix the myrrh with pitying tears? exclaim’d the
angel standing nigh the grave to them that bore the myrrh. See ye the
grave, and understand; for risen from the grave the Saviour is.
Blessed art thou, O Lord....
They that bore myrrh made haste at early morn lamenting to thy grave, but
an angel stood before them, and he said, The time for lamentation is
gone by, weep not, but tell the resurrection the apostles.
Blessed art thou, O Lord....
The ointment-bearing women as they came with myrrh unto thy grave, O
Saviour, wail’d; but an angel spake with them, and said, Why reckon ye
the living with the dead? for he is risen from the grave as God.
Glory to the Father....
Let us adore the Father, and his Son, also the Holy Ghost, the Holy
Trinity in substance one, exclaiming with the seraphim, Thou holy, holy,
holy art, O Lord.
Both now and ever....
Thou, Virgin, who didst bear the Giver of life, hast Adam ransomed from
sin, and Eve hast given joy instead of grief; for he that was made
flesh of thee, the God and man, hath them that fell from life restored
thereunto.[4]
XIV. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill to men.
We hymn thee, we bless thee, we worship thee, we glorify thee, we give
thanks to thee for thy great glory, O Lord, the heavenly King, O God, the
Father almighty, O Lord, the only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, and O Holy
Ghost. O Lord God, O Lamb of God, O Son of the Father, thou that takest
away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us; thou that takest away the
sins of the world, accept our prayer. Thou that sittest on the right hand
of the Father, have mercy upon us. For thou alone art holy, thou alone
art Lord, O Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father. Amen. Every
day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name to ages, and to ages
of ages. Lord, thou hast been our refuge in generation and generation. I
have said, O Lord, have mercy upon me, heal my soul, for I have sinned
against thee. Lord, I have fled unto thee, teach me to do thy will, for
thou art my God; for with thee is the fountain of life, in thy light
shall we see light: O continue forth thy mercy to them that know thee.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin. Blessed art thou,
O Lord, O God of our fathers, and praised and glorified is thy name to
ages. Amen. O Lord, may thy mercy be upon us, like as we have put our
trust in thee. Blessed art thou, O Lord, O teach me by thy statutes.
Blessed art thou, O Master, give me understanding by thy statutes.
Blessed art thou, O Holy One, enlighten me in thy statutes. O Lord, thy
mercy endureth for ever, despise not the work of thy hand. To thee is due
praise, to thee is due a song, to thee is due glory, to the Father, and
to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, now and ever, and to ages of ages.
Amen.[5]
XV. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing unto thy
name, O Most High, to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth
every night.
