Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom
- 71 -
Sinless one. We worship Thy Cross, O Christ, and
Thy holy Resurrection we hymn and glorify, for
Thou art our God, and we know none other beside
Thee; we call upon Thy name. O come, all ye
faithful, let us worship Christ's holy Resurrection,
for, behold, through the Cross joy hath come to all
the world. Ever blessing the Lord, we hymn His
Resurrection, for having endured crucifixion, He
hath destroyed death by death.
Shine, shine, O new Jerusalem, for the glory of the
Lord is risen upon thee; dance now, and be glad, O
Sion; and do thou exult O pure Theotokos, in the
rising of Him Whom thou didst bear.
O Christ, Thou great and most sacred Pascha! O
Wisdom, Word and Power of God! Grant us to
partake of Thee more fully in the unwaning day of
Thy Kingdom.
He wipeth the holy diskos with the holy sponge exceedingly well, with
attentiveness and reverence, saying these words:
Deacon:
By thy precious Blood, O Lord, wash away
the sins of those here commemorated, through the
intercessions of Thy saints.
