DIVINE LITURGY PROPERS:
Tropar of the Resurrection, Tone 3
Let the heavens rejoice. Let the earth be glad. For the Lord has shown
strength with His Arm. He has trampled down death by death. He has
become the First-born of the Dead. He has delivered us from the depths
of Hell and has granted the world great mercy.
Tropar to Prophet Amos, Tone 2
Celebrating the memory of Your Prophet Amos, O Lord, for his sake,
we entreat You to save our souls.
Tropar of the Dormition, Tone 1
In giving birth, you preserved your virginity. In falling asleep you did not
forsake the world, Birth-Giver of God. You were translated to life, Mother of
Life, and through your prayers you deliver our souls from death.
Glory…Kondak of the Ressurrection, Tone 3
On this day You rose from the tomb, Merciful One, leading us from the gates
of death. On this day Adam exults as Eve rejoices. With the prophets and
patriarchs they unceasingly praise the divine majesty of Your power.
Now and ever…Bohorodychnyi, Tone 3
We chant your praises, Virgin Birth-Giver of God, who intercedes for the
salvation of our race. For Your son, our God, by taking flesh from you and
accepting suffering on the Cross, has delivered us from corruption for He
loves all mankind.
Prokimen of the Resurrection, Tone 3
Sing praises to our God, sing praises. Sing praises to our King, sing
praises.
Verse: Clap your hands, all you peoples. Shout to God with a joyful voice.
Alleluia Verses, Tone 3
Lord, in You have I hope; let me never be put to shame.
Verse: Be a God of protection for us, a house of refuge, to save us.
Communion Hymn:
Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the highest. (Alleluia 3X)
