Sticheron of the Resurrection

ἀναστάσεως ἡμέρα, καὶ λαμπρυνθῶμεν τῇ πανηγύρει

I The Day of Resurrection! Let gladness light each face; And in our solemn concourse give To each a kind embrace; For Christ the Lord hath risen, And death by death is slain; The silent dwellers in the tomb Are called to life again.

II To those who love or hate us, "Our brethren," let us say; Be all with joy forgiven, This Resurrection Day. For Christ the Lord hath risen, And death by death is slain, The silent dwellers in the tomb Are called to life again.
