Praise ye the name of the Lord; O ye servants, praise the Lord. Alleluia, thrice. Blessed is the Lord out of Sion, Who dwelleth in Jerusalem. Alleluia, thrice. O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever. Alleluia, thrice. O give thanks unto the God of heaven; for His mercy endureth for ever. Alleluia, thrice. Troparia of the Resurrection, Fifth Tone:

Blessed art Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes. The assembly of Angels was amazed, beholding Thee numbered among the dead; yet, O Saviour, destroying the stronghold of death, and with Thyself raising up Adam, and freeing all from hades. Blessed art Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes. Why mingle ye myrrh with tears of pity, O ye women disciples? Thus the radiant angel within the tomb addressed the myrrh-bearing women; behold the tomb and understand, for the Saviour is risen from the tomb. Blessed art Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes. Very early the myrrh-bearing women hastened unto Thy tomb, lamenting, but the angel stood before them and said: The time for lamentation is past, weep not, but tell of the Resurrection to the apostles. Blessed art Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy statutes. The myrrh-bearing women, with myrrh came to Thy tomb, O Saviour, bewailing, but the angel addressed them, saying: Why number ye the living among the dead, for as God He is risen from the tomb. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:

Let us worship the Father, and His Son, and the Holy Spirit, the Holy Trinity, one in essence, crying with the Seraphim: Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou, O Lord. Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

In bringing forth the Giver of Life, thou hast delivered Adam from sin, O Virgin, and hast brought joy to Eve instead of sorrow; and those fallen from life hath thereunto been restored, by Him Who of thee was incarnate, God and Man. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Glory to Thee, O God. Thrice:
