(From the Canon of the Resurrection)
Ode VII
ἔφριξε γῆ, ἀπεστράφη ἥλιος
I Then the earth in terror shook, And the sun grew dark in wonder; Then the Temple veil was torn, And the rocks were rent asunder;-- For the Just One, God most glorious, Died upon the Cross victorious.
II O Most High, Whom heaven adores, Thou wast born to us in weakness, Bore the scourging and the wounds, Died upon the Cross in ;-- Now o'er death we rise victorious, By the power of God most glorious.
