Ode iv.
Irmos. With us on watching tower divine may the inspired Abbacum stand, and show a radiant angel speaking plain, Salvation’s for the world to-day; for Christ, th’ almighty one, is risen.
Troparion. Christ hath appeared as a male opening the Virgin’s womb. As mortal, he is call’d a lamb; as undefil’d by stain, our Pasch; and, as true God, he’s perfect nam’d.
Troparion. As yearling lamb our blessed crown, even Christ, of his own will, as cleansing Pasch, was slain for all; and from the grave hath shin’d to us again, he, glorious Sun of righteousness.
Troparion. David, divine forefather, leap’d, dancing the typical ark before; and, we, beholding types fulfill’d, be we divinely glad, we, holy folk of God; for Christ, th’ almighty one, is risen.
Ode v.
Irmos. In the deep dawn let us arise, and let us bring, instead of myrrh, the Lord a song, and we the Sun of righteousness shall see, Christ shining life to all.
Troparion. They that were held by hades’ bonds when they thy boundless pity saw, hasten’d, O Christ, unto the light, praising, with joyful feet, th’ eternal Pasch.
Troparion. Bearing the lamps, precede we Christ, who, as a bridegroom, from the grave comes forth, and, with the festal-loving ranks, let us together keep the saving Pasch of God.
