The Paschal Canon - 3rd Ode
by St John of Damascus
Feast of St Zacchaeus the Apostle of Caesaria
Anno Domini 2020, April 20
1st Ode. Tone 1.
Today is the day of Resurrection! O nations, let us shine forth; for the Pascha is the Pascha of the Lord, in that Christ did make us pass from death to life, and from earth to heaven, who now sing the song of victory and triumph.
Glory to Thy Holy Resurrection, O Lord!
Let us cleanse our senses that we may behold Christ shining like lightning with the unapproachable light of Resurrection, that we may hear him say openly, Rejoice! while we sing to him the hymn of victory and triumph.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; both now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be glad, as is meet; both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be glad, as is meet; and let the whole world, visible and invisible, feast; for Christ hath risen to everlasting joy.
Today is the day of Resurrection! O nations, let us shine forth; for the Pascha is the Pascha of the Lord, in that Christ did make us pass from death to life, and from earth to heaven, who now sing the song of victory and triumph.
Christ is risen from the dead trampling down death by death and upon those in the tombs bestowing life. (thrice)
Verily, Jesus is risen from the tomb, as He had foretold, and hath bestowed life eternal upon us, and great mercy.
