Irmos.
Let the Prophet Avvakoum, inspired by God,
 keep the divine watch with us, and show forth the radiant Angel, 
who with resounding voice declares, 
‘To-day is salvation for the world, for Christ has risen as omnipotent’.

Troparia.
Christ appeared as a ‘male’ who opened the virgin womb. 
As our food he is called ‘lamb’; ‘unblemished’,
 as our Passover without stain; and ‘perfect’, for he is true God.
As a yearling lamb, for us a crown of goodness, the Blessed One,
 the cleansing Passover has been sacrificed for all; 
and from the tomb the fair Sun of justice has shone for us again.
God’s forebear David, dancing, leaped before the Ark, 
mere shadow, but seeing the fulfilment of the types, 
let us, God’s holy people, inspired, rejoice, for Christ has risen as omnipotent.

Katavasia.
Let the Prophet Avvakoum, inspired by God,
keep the divine watch with us, and show forth the radiant Angel, 
who with resounding voice declares, ‘
To-day is salvation for the world, for Christ has risen as omnipotent’.
Christ has risen from the dead,
 by death he has trampled on death, 
and to those in the graves given life. (x3)
Jesus, having risen from the tomb as he foretold, has given us eternal life and great mercy.
Then the Little Litany.
Conclusion: For you, O God, are good and love humankind…

Irmos.
Let us arise in the early dawn, and instead of myrrh
offer praises to the Master; and we shall see Christ, the Sun of Justice,
 who causes life to dawn for all.

Troparia.
Those who were held by Hades’ bonds, seeing your measureless compassion,
 press forward to the light, O Christ, with joyful steps, praising an eternal Passover.
With torches in our hands let us go out to meet Christ
 as he comes from the grave like a bridegroom, 
and with the festive ranks of Angels, let us together feast God’s saving Passover.


Katavasia.
Let us arise in the early dawn, and instead of myrrh, offer praises to the Master;
 and we shall see Christ, the Sun of Justice, who causes life to dawn for all.
Christ has risen from the dead, by death he has trampled on death, 
and to those in the graves given life. (x3)

as given us eternal life and great mercy.
Then the Little Litany.
Conclusion: For sanctified and glorified is your all-honoured and majestic Name, of the Father…
