Troparia (from the Canon of the Resurrection): Ode IV

(From the Canon of the Resurrection)

Ode IV

τίς αὗτος Σωτὴρ, ὁ ἐξ Ἑδώμ

I What Saviour comes from Edom, With garments dyed in red? Who is it wears the thorn crown Upon His wounded head? Who is it dies to set us free? The Holy One of Israel He. Glory we give with one accord To Thy blest Resurrection, Lord.

II O people disobedient, With shame your Saviour see; For, He you called to judgment, And nailed upon the tree, Hath burst the bands that would enslave, And risen a victor from the grave. Glory we give with one accord, To Thy blest Resurrection, Lord.
