V. The more honourable than the cherubim, and incomparably more glorious than the seraphim, who didst bear without corruption God the Word, thee, verily the God-bearing one, we magnify. VI. _Nunc Dimittis._ VII. O come, let us worship God our King. O come, let us worship, and fall down before Christ God, our King. O come, let us worship, and fall down before Christ himself, our King and God. VIII. It is very meet to bless thee, the God-bearing one, the ever blessed, the entirely spotless, and the Mother of our God. The more honourable than the cherubim, and incomparably more glorious than the seraphim, who didst bear without corruption God the Word, thee, verily the God-bearing one, we magnify. IX. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to thee, our God. _Three times._ X. Psalm 50. XI. See Trisagion. Note i. XII. Having seen the resurrection of Christ, we adore the holy Lord Jesus, who alone is without sin. Thy cross, O Christ, we worship, and sing and glorify thy holy resurrection; for thou art our God, we know none other beside thee, we call upon thy name. O come, all ye faithful, let us adore Christ’s holy resurrection; for by the cross great joy is come into all the world. Ever blessing the Lord, we sing his resurrection; for, enduring crucifixion, death by death he overthrew. XIII. Blessed art thou, O Lord: O teach me thy statutes. The angelic counsel was amaz’d, seeing thee number’d with the dead, thee, Saviour, who hast overthrown the might of death, hast raised Adam with thyself, and freed all from hades. Blessed art thou, O Lord.... Why, O disciples, do ye mix the myrrh with pitying tears? exclaim’d the angel standing nigh the grave to them that bore the myrrh. See ye the grave, and understand; for risen from the grave the Saviour is. Blessed art thou, O Lord.... They that bore myrrh made haste at early morn lamenting to thy grave, but an angel stood before them, and he said, The time for lamentation is gone by, weep not, but tell the resurrection the apostles. Blessed art thou, O Lord.... The ointment-bearing women as they came with myrrh unto thy grave, O Saviour, wail’d; but an angel spake with them, and said, Why reckon ye the living with the dead? for he is risen from the grave as God. Glory to the Father.... Let us adore the Father, and his Son, also the Holy Ghost, the Holy Trinity in substance one, exclaiming with the seraphim, Thou holy, holy, holy art, O Lord. Both now and ever.... Thou, Virgin, who didst bear the Giver of life, hast Adam ransomed from sin, and Eve hast given joy instead of grief; for he that was made flesh of thee, the God and man, hath them that fell from life restored thereunto.[4]
