We the faith-ful pro-claim and wor-ship the Word, e-ter-nal with the Fa-ther and the Spir _-it. He was born of the Vir-gin for our sal-va _-tion. He wil-ling-ly a-scend-ed the cross in the flesh and suf-fered _ death. He raised the dead by His glo-ri-ous res-ur-rec _ _ _-tion.
An-gel-ic pow-ers were be-fore Your grave, and the guards be-came like dead men _, Ma _-ry stood at the grave, seek-ing Your Most Pure Bo-dy _, You cap-tured death, but were not temp-ted by it, O Giv-er of life, You met the Vir-gin _, O Lord, You a-rose from the dead. Glo _ _ _-ry to _ You.
You have de-stroyed death by Your Cross. You o-pened Par-a-dise to the thief, You changed the weep-ing of the myrh-bear-ers to joy. You com-mand-ed Your A-pos-tles to pro-claim: “Christ our God has ri-sen, grant-ing great mer-cy to the world.”
