ODE VIII

Eirmos: This is the chosen and holy day, the one king and lord of sabbaths, the feast of feasts, and the triumph of triumphs, on which we bless Christ unto the ages.

Refrain:

Christ is risen from the dead. Come, on this auspicious day of the Resurrection, let us partake of the fruit of the new vine of divine gladness of the kingdom of Christ, praising Him as God unto the ages. Lift up thine eyes about thee, O Sion, and see, for behold, there cometh unto thee like God-illumined beacons, from the west, and from the north, and from the sea, and from the east, thy children, in thee blessing Christ unto the ages.

Refrain:

O Most Holy Trinity, our God, glory to Thee. O Father Almighty, and Word, and Spirit, one Nature united in three Persons, transcendent and most divine! Into Thee have we been baptized, and Thee will we bless unto all ages.
