Resurrection Tone One

When the stone had been sealed by the Jews,
while the soldiers were guarding Your immaculate body,
You rose on the third day, O Savior,
granting life to the world.
The Powers of Heaven therefore cried out to You, O Giver of Life:
Glory to Your Resurrection, O Christ!
Glory to You Kingdom!
Glory to Your Divine Plan, for You alone love mankind.

~ Troparion

As God, You rose in glory from the tomb, raising the world with Yourself.
Human nature sings Your praise as God, for death has vanished.
Adam dances for joy, O Master!
And Eve, now freed from her bonds, cries out to You in joy:
“You are the One Who grants resurrection to all, O Christ!”
