There are eight tones. Most of the liturgies of the church are chanted using these tones.
Each tone has a special melody. The melody used to chant different parts of the liturgy are indicated by the tone number.
Resurrectional Troparia apply specific lyrics to particular tones. Each week, the resurrectional tone is sung at a designated place in the Divine Liturgy.
Your tomb was sealed with a stone by the _ Jews, and the sold-iers guard-ed Your most pure bo _-dy: yet You a-rose on the third day, O Sav _-iour, Giv _ _ _-ing life to the world. The heav-en-ly pow-ers cried out to you, O Giv-er of _ Life: Glo-ry to Your res-ur-rec-tion, O _ Christ! Glo-ry to Your King-dom! Glo-ry to Your plan of sal-va-tion, for You a-lone _ love man _-kind.
When you sub-mit-ted to death, O _ Im _-mor-tal Life, You made death pow-er-less by the ra-di-ance of Your _ Di _-vi-ni-ty. When You raised the dead from the _ depths _ of the earth, all the heav-en-ly _ pow _-ers ex-claimed: O Giv-er of Life Christ our God _ Glo _-ry to Thee!
Let the heav-ens re-joice and let _ the earth be glad! For the Lord has shown strength _ with his arm, tram _-pling down death by death, He has be-come the first-born of the dead. He has de-liv-ered us from the depths of the realm of death, and has giv-en great mer-cy to our souls.
