Part 3 (2/2)

I

Thou one Begotten Son, Eternal Word adored, Immortal while the ages run, And our Almighty Lord;

II

To bring Salvation nigh, To vanquish death and sin, Thou didst in cruel anguish die, And life for mortals win.

III

Save us, O Christ our G.o.d, Save by Thy Cross, we pray; Thou who didst bear the Father's rod, And death by dying slay.

IV

Thou art the Eternal Son, One in the glorious Three; Co-equal praise while ages run Shall ever rise to thee.

{Kyrie, anabainontos sou en to stauro}

({Doxa echos pl. d1})

I

When on the cruel Cross The Lord was lifted high, Affrighted earth in terror quailed To see its Maker die.

II

Then had the yawning caves Devoured the murderous band, Had not the Crucified in love Stretched forth His saving hand.

III

Thou gav'st Thyself to die, Dark Hades to explore, To bring to souls in prison bound New life for evermore.

IV

O Lover of mankind, To Thee all glory be, For Thou didst give not death, but life, When hanging on the tree.

{Dia Lazarou ten egersin Kyrie}

({Antiphonon G' echos B'})

When Lazarus rose at Christ's command, And G.o.d was glorified of men, The children cried Hosanna then, But Judas would not understand.
