Including the Midnight Office, Matins, and the Divine
Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom
St. Symeon Orthodox Church, Birmingham, AL
The Midnight Office
(Nocturn)
After the reading of the Acts of the Holy Apostles is completed, the priest, vested in
the epitrachilion, intones:
Priest: Blessed is our God, always, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
Reader: Amen. Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on
us! (3x)
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now
and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
O most-holy Trinity, have mercy on us. O Lord, cleanse us from
our sins. O Master, pardon our transgressions. O Holy One, visit
and heal our infirmities for Thy name’s sake.
Lord, have mercy. (3x)
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now
and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy
Kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we
forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver
us from the evil one.
Priest: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever and
unto ages of ages.
Reader: Amen. Come, let us worship God our King. Come, let us worship
and fall down before Christ, our King and our God. Come, let us
worship and fall down before Christ Himself, our King and our
God.
The Reader immediately begins Psalm 50, on the following page:
1
PSALM L. 50
For the End: A Psalm of David. When Nathan the Prophet
Came unto Him. When He Went in unto Bersabee, the Wife
of Urias.
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy; and according
to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgression. Wash me
thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know
mine iniquity, and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee only have I
sinned and done this evil before Thee, that Thou mightest be justified in
Thy words, and prevail when Thou art judged. For behold, I was
conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother bear me. For behold,
Thou hast loved truth; the hidden and secret things of Thy wisdom hast
Thou made manifest unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I
shall be made clean; Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than
snow. Thou shalt make me to hear joy and gladness; the bones that be
humbled, they shall rejoice. Turn Thy face away from my sins, and blot
out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right
spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy
Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and with
Thy governing Spirit establish me. I shall teach transgressors Thy ways,
and the ungodly shall turn back unto Thee. Deliver me from blood-
guiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; my tongue shall rejoice in
Thy righteousness. O Lord, Thou shalt open my lips, and my mouth shall
declare Thy praise. For if Thou hadst desired sacrifice, I had given it; with
whole-burnt offerings Thou shalt not be pleased. A sacrifice unto God is a
broken spirit; a heart that is broken and humbled God will not despise.
Do good, O Lord, in Thy good pleasure unto Sion, and let the walls of
Jerusalem be builded. Then shalt Thou be pleased with a sacrifice of
righteousness, with oblation and whole-burnt offerings. Then shall they
offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
The Choir immediately begins the Canon, softly and quickly, on the following page:

The Canon – Irmos 1
Lesser Znamenny Chant, Tone 6
Of old Thou didst bury the pursu-ing ty - rant be-neath the waves
of the sea. Now the child - ren of those who were saved
bu - ry Thee be - neath the earth, but like the maid - ens let us sing
to the Lord,/// for glo - rious - ly has He been glo - ri - fied.
Reader:
3
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
Unto Thee I sing a hymn for the departed and a song of burial, O Lord my
God, Who by Thy burial hast opened for me the entrance to life and by
Thy death hast put death and hell to death.
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
Beholding Thee upon the throne on high and in the grave below, the
things of heaven and the things beneath the earth trembled at Thy
death; for in a manner past understanding wast Thou, the very Source of
Life, seen dead.
REFRAIN: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now
and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Thou didst descend to the depths of the earth to fill all with Thy glory;
for my person that is in Adam was not hidden from Thee, and when
Thou wast buried, Thou didst renew me who am corrupt, O Lover of
mankind.
The irmos is repeated as the Katavasia (on the following page).

Katavasia – Ode 1
Of old Thou didst bury the pursu-ing ty - rant be-neath the waves
of the sea. Now the child - ren of those who were saved

Irmos 3
Lesser Znamenny Chant – Tone 6
Thou didst sus - pend the earth im - movably up - on the wa - ters.
Now cre - a - tion be - holds Thee sus - pen - ded on Cal - va - ry.
It quakes with great a - maze - ment and cries,/// "None is ho - ly but
Thee, O Lord."
Reader:
6
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
By a multitude of visions Thou didst indicate the signs of Thy burial, O
Master. But now, as God and man, Thou dost make clear Thy hidden
things even unto those in hell, who cry, “None is holy but Thee, O Lord.”
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
Thou hast stretched out Thy hands, O Savior, and united what before had
been divided; and by clothing Thyself in a winding sheet Thou hast
saved even those held captive by the tomb who cry, “None is holy but
Thee, O Lord.”
REFRAIN: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now
and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
By Thy will a sealed tomb contained Thee, Who cannot be contained; for
by Thy divine accomplishments Thou hast made known Thy power
unto those who sing, “None is holy but Thee, O Lord Who lovest
mankind.”
The irmos is repeated as the Katavasia (on the following page).
7
Katavasia – Ode 3
Thou didst sus - pend the earth im - movably up - on the wa - ters.
Now cre - a - tion be - holds Thee sus - pen - ded on Cal - va - ry.
It quakes with great a - maze - ment and cries,/// "None is ho - ly but
Thee, O Lord."
Then immediately the Kathisma Hymn (on the following page).

Kathisma Hymn – Tone 1
The sol - diers guard - ing Thy tomb, O Sav - ior, be - came as dead men
at the light-'ning flash of the an-gel who appeared announcing Thy re-
- sur-rec-tion to the wo - men. We glo-ri-fy Thee, Who cleansest from cor-

Lesser Znamenny Chant – Tone 6
Fore-see-ing Thy divine humilia-tion on the cross, Hab-ak-kuk cried out
trem - bling, "Thou didst shat - ter the dominion of the migh-
- ty/// by join - ing those in hell as the al - migh - ty Lord."
Reader:
10
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
Thou hast sanctified this, the seventh day, which of old Thou didst bless
by rest from work; for Thou dost bring all things into being and renew
them, O my Savior, while resting and reviving on the Sabbath.
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
By the overwhelming strength of Thy divine nature Thou didst win the
victory, O Word; for Thy soul was parted from the flesh, sundering by
Thy might the bonds of hell and death.
REFRAIN: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now
and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
When hell encountered Thee, O Word, it was embittered. Seeing Thee as
a mortal man deified, marked with wounds yet having almighty power,
it cried out at Thy awesome appearance.
11
Katavasia – Ode 4
Fore-see-ing Thy divine humilia-tion on the cross, Hab-ak-kuk cried out
trem - bling, "Thou didst shat - ter the dominion of the migh-
- ty/// by join - ing those in hell as the al - migh - ty Lord."
Irmos 5 begins on the following page.

Irmos 5
Lesser Znamenny Chant – Tone 6
I-sa-iah saw the ne-ver-set-ting light of Thy compassionate manifes-ta-
- tion to us as God, O Christ. Ris - ing ear - ly from the night
he cried out, "The dead shall a - rise. Those in the tombs shall
a - wake./// All those on earth shall great - ly re - joice."
Reader:
13
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
When Thou didst become earthly, O Creator, Thou didst renew those
born on earth, and the winding sheet and the grave revealed the
mystery concerning Thee, O Word; for Joseph the noble counsellor,
fulfills the counsel of Him Who begot Thee and Who wondrously
renews me in Thee.
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
Through death Thou dost transform what is mortal, and through burial
Thou dost transform what is corruptible; for in a manner befitting God
Thou dost make incorrupt and immortal the nature which Thou hast
assumed, since Thy flesh did not see corruption and in a wondrous
manner Thy soul was not abandoned in hell.
REFRAIN: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now
and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Thou didst come forth from a painless birth, O my Maker, and Thy side
was pierced. By this hast Thou, the new Adam, accomplished the
restoration of Eve. Thou didst fall into a sleep surpassing nature and
renewing nature, and, as the all-powerful One, Thou didst raise up life
from sleep and corruption.
The irmos is repeated as the Katavasia (on the following page).
14
Katavasia – Ode 5
I-sa-iah saw the ne-ver-set-ting light of Thy compassionate manifes-ta-
- tion to us as God, O Christ. Ris - ing ear - ly from the night
he cried out, "The dead shall a - rise. Those in the tombs shall

Irmos 6 begins on the following page.

Irmos 6
Lesser Znamenny Chant – Tone 6
Jo - nah was caught but not held fast in the bel - ly of the whale.
He was a sign of Thee Who hast suffered and ac - cep - ted
bur - i - al. Com - ing forth from the beast as from a bri - dal
cham - ber, he called out to the guard,/// "By observing vani-ties
and lies you have…
16
and lies you have for-sak-en your own mer - cy."
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
Thou wast killed, O Word, but not separated from the flesh which Thou
dost share with us; for even though the temple of Thy body was
destroyed at the time of the Passion, the person of Thy divinity and of
Thy flesh was one, for in both dost Thou remain one Son, Word of
God, God and man.
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
The fall of Adam resulted in the death of man, not God; for even though
the earthly substance of Thy flesh suffered, Thy divinity remained
passionless. In Thyself Thou hast transformed the corruptible to
incorruption, and by Thy resurrection Thou hast revealed a fountain of
incorruptible life.
REFRAIN: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now
and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Hell rules the race of mortal men, but not eternally; for when Thou wast
placed in the grave, O powerful One, Thou didst tear asunder the bars
of death by Thy life-creating hand and didst proclaim true deliverance to
those sleeping there from the ages, since Thou, O Savior, hast become
the first-born of the dead.
The irmos is repeated as the Katavasia (on the following page).
17
Katavasia – Ode 6
Jo - nah was caught but not held fast in the bel - ly of the whale.
He was a sign of Thee Who hast suffered and ac - cep - ted

and lies you have for-sak-en your own mer - cy."
The Kontakion
Obikhod Tone 6 – N. Bakhmetev
He Who shut in the depths is be-held dead, wrapped in fine lin-en and
spi-ces. The immortal One is laid in a tomb as a mor-tal man. The wo-
- men have come to anoint Him with myrrh, weeping bitter-ly and cry-ing,
“This is the most blessed sabbath!”
19
"This is the most bles-sed sab-bath/// on which Christ has fallen a-sleep
to rise on the third day."
Ikos
He Who holds all things together has been lifted up upon the Cross, and
all of creation weeps at seeing Him hanging, naked, upon the Wood.
The sun hid its rays and the stars cast aside their splendor. The earth
shook with great fear, the sea fled, and the rocks were split asunder.
Many tombs were opened, and the bodies of holy men arose. Hell
groaned below and the Jews considered how to slander the resurrection
of Christ, but the women cried, “This is the most blessed Sabbath on
which Christ has fallen asleep to rise on the third day.”
And the choir repeats the last phrase of the Ikos (on the following page):
20
"This is the most bles-sed sab-bath/// on which Christ has fallen a-sleep
to rise on the third day."
The Canon resumes with Irmos 7 (on the following page).

Irmos 7
Lesser Znamenny Chant – Tone 6
In-ex-press - i-ble won - der! In the furnace Thou didst save the ho-ly
youths from the flame. Now Thou art placed in the grave as a
life - less corpse, for the sal - va - tion of us who sing,///
"Bles-sed art Thou, O God, our Re - deem - er!"
Reader:
22
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
Hell was wounded in heart when it received Him Whose side was pierced
by a spear, and it groans, consumed by divine fire, unto the salvation of
us who sing, “Blessed art Thou, O God, our Redeemer!”
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
Happy is the tomb! For having received the Creator as one asleep, it
became a divine treasury of life, for the salvation of us who sing,
“Blessed art Thou, O God, our Redeemer!”
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
In accordance with the law of the dead, the Life of all accepts burial in the
tomb, and the tomb becomes the source of resurrection, unto the
salvation of us who sing, “Blessed art Thou, O God, our Redeemer!”
REFRAIN: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now
and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
In hell, in the tomb, and in Eden, the divinity of Christ was one and
undivided with the Father and the Spirit, for the salvation of us who
sing, “Blessed art Thou, O God, our Redeemer!”
The irmos is repeated as the Katavasia (on the following page).
23
Katavasia – Ode 7
In-ex-press - i-ble won - der! In the furnace Thou didst save the ho-ly

REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
The pure Temple has been destroyed, yet He raises with Himself the
tabernacle that had fallen; for the second Adam, Who dwells in the
highest, has descended to the first Adam, even unto the lowest chambers
of hell. Bless Him, O youths! Praise Him, O priests! O people, exalt
Him above all forever!
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
The courage of all the disciples failed, but Joseph of Arimathea showed
valor; for seeing the God of all dead and naked, he sought Him and
dressed Him for burial, crying, “Bless Him, O youths! Praise Him, O
priests! O people, exalt Him above all forever!”
REFRAIN: Let us bless the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the Lord,
now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
What new wonders! What great goodness! What ineffable forebearance!
For He that dwells in the highest is willingly sealed beneath the earth,
and God is slandered as a deceiver. Bless Him, O youths! Praise Him, O
priests! O people, exalt Him above all forever!
Choir:

We praise, bless, and wor - ship the Lord,///

Irmos 9 begins on the following page.
It is customary for the priest, now fully vested in his Paschal vestments, to open the curtain and
the royal doors at the beginning of the Ninth Ode. He exits the sanctuary through the royal
doors and censes around the epitaphion (winding-sheet) three times. As the Katavasia of the
Ninth Ode, “Do not lament Me, O Mother…” is sung, at the words, “For I shall arise,” the
priest lifts the epitaphion from the tomb and carries it into the sanctuary through the royal
doors and places it on the altar. The epitaphion remains on the altar until the leave-taking of
Pascha. The royal doors and curtain are now closed.

Reader:
29
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
“I escaped sufferings and was blessed beyond nature at Thy strange
birth, O Son Who art without beginning. But now, beholding Thee, My
God, dead and without breath, I am sorely pierced by the sword of
sorrow. But arise, that I may be magnified.”
REFRAIN: Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
“By My own will, the earth covers Me, O Mother, but the gatekeepers of

arise as God and magnify thee.”
REFRAIN: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now
and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

shall I arise!”

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we
forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver
us from the evil one.
Priest: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever and
unto ages of ages.
Choir: Amen.
Then immediately the Resurrectional Troparion in Tone 2, on the following page:
32
Resurrectional Troparion
Obikhod Tone 2 – N. Bakhmetev
When Thou didst descend to death, O Life Im - mor - tal, Thou didst
slay hell with the splendor of Thy God - head! And when from the
depths Thou didst raise the dead, all the pow - ers of hea - ven cried
out:// "O Giv-er of Life, Christ our God, glo-ry to Thee!"
33
The priest comes to the ambo for the following Litany:
Priest: Have mercy on us, O God, according to Thy great goodness, we pray
Thee, hearken and have mercy.
Choir (Litiya Melody): Lord, have mercy. (3x)
Priest: Again we pray that He will keep this city, and this holy church, and
every city and country from wrath, famine, pestilence, earthquake,
flood, fire, the sword, the invasion of enemies, and from civil war,
and from sudden death; that our good God, Who loves mankind,
may be gracious, favorable and conciliatory, and turn away and
dispel all the wrath stirred up against us, and all sickness, and may
deliver us from His righteous chastisement which impends against
us and have mercy on us.
Choir: Lord, have mercy. (3x)
Priest: (Exclamation) Hear us, O God our Savior, the Hope of all the ends of
the earth, and of those who are far off upon the sea; and be gracious,
be gracious, O Master, unto us sinners and have mercy on us. For
Thou art a merciful God Who lovest mankind, and unto Thee do we
ascribe glory, to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
now and ever and unto ages of ages.
Choir: Amen.
The lesser dismissal is pronounced from the ambo.
Priest: Glory to Thee, O Christ, our God and our hope, glory to Thee.
Choir: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and
ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Lord, have mercy. (3x)
Father, bless.
Priest: May Christ our true God, through the prayers of His most pure
Mother, of our venerable and God-bearing fathers, and of all the
saints, have mercy on us and save us, for He is good and loves
mankind.
Choir: Amen. At this point, all the lights in the church are extinguished.
34
The Beginning of Pascha
The Royal Doors are shut and the curtain is drawn. All the lamps in the temple are
extinguished. The priest lights the Holy Fire in the sanctuary. Once the Holy Fire
is lit, the curtain is drawn and the Royal Doors are open. The priest, exits the
sanctuary to the ambo and proclaims the following, after which two servers with
unlit candles proceed out of the Deacon’s Doors. During the singing of “Come Ye,
Take Light,” the servers light their candles from the priest, and in turn light the
candles of the people. The lamps in the temple are relit from the Holy Fire.
Priest: Come ye, take light from the Light that never fades! Come, glorify
Christ, Who is risen from the dead!
First time: Solo Woman
Come ye, take light from the Light that is ne - ver o-
- ver - ta - ken by night! Come, glo - ri - fy Christ,
ri-sen from the dead!
Second time: All Women sing Melody in Unison
Third time: Women on Melody, Men on Ison (on an “E”)
After the third “Come Ye, Take Light,” the clergy begin “Thy Resurrection,” and
we enter into Paschal Matins (on the following page):
35
The Matins of Pascha
The Procession
The priest vests himself in all his brightest vestments. He takes the precious Cross
and the three-branched candlestick in his left hand, and the censer in his right. He
censes the sanctuary and the concelebrants. The priest and the concelebrants begin
the following sticheron in Tone 6, and then exit the sanctuary. Preceded by the
Cross, the banners, the holy icons, the Gospel book, torchbearers, and the choir, and
followed by all the people carrying candles, the priest and all the other concelebrants
go around the temple. The sticheron is sung continuously and the bells ring all the
while.

Coming before the principle doors of the church, all the bearers of the holy objects
turn to face the west and arrange themselves in the customary manner. The
celebrant censes the Gospel book, the icons and banners, the choir, and all the
people. Then, standing before the doors of the church and facing east, the celebrant
signs the doors of the church, which remain closed, with the censer in cross-form
thrice. He holds the precious cross and the three-branched candlestick in his left
hand. Torchbearers stand on both sides. Once all the people arrive at the door of the
church, the celebrant exclaims the Gospel reading, on the following page:

Priest: The Lord, strong and mighty! The Lord, mighty in battle! Lift up your
heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, O ancient doors! That the King
of Glory may enter! All the doors are opened. The
celebrant enters with the precious
Voice: (Who is this King of Glory?)
Cross, two torches being carried
Priest: The Lord of Hosts! He is the King of Glory! before him. Then all the bells are
rung. In some traditions, the
banners and chandeliers in the
church are spun at this point. The
priest and concelebrants enter the
sanctuary and the Great Litany

The Canon of Pascha – Ode 1
Obikhod Tone 1 – N. Bakhmetev
The priest begins each ode of the canon. He also does the customary censing during each ode, holding the precious Cross
and three-branched candlestick in his left hand. As he censes the people, he greets them, saying: Christ is Risen! And we
answer: Indeed He is Risen! NOTE: While the books call for the Heirmos to be repeated as the Katavasia at the end of
each ode, it is the practice of St. Symeon Orthodox Church to omit the Katavasia and go straight to the Paschal Troparion.
Heirmos:
This is the day of re - sur- rec- tion! Let us be il- lu- mined, O peo- ple!
Pas - cha, the Pas - cha of the Lord! For from death to life
***
and from earth to hea - ven has Christ our God led us,//
Refrain
as we sing the song of vic-to-ry! Christ is ri - sen from the dead!
43
Troparion 1:
Let us pur - i - fy our sen - ses, and we shall see Christ shin - ing in
the unapproachable light of His re - sur - rec - tion! We shall clear - ly
hear Him say, "Re - joice!"// as we sing the song of vic - to - ry!
Refrain
Christ is ri - sen from the dead!
44
Troparion 2:
Let the hea - vens be glad and let the earth re - joice!
Let the whole world, vis - i - ble and in - vis - i - ble, keep the feast,//
for Christ is ri-sen, our e-ter-nal joy! Turn the page fast!
Paschal Troparion (Quick Melody) three times, on the following page:
45
Christ is ri - sen from the dead, tram - pling down death by death,
Third Time:
(2)
and upon those in the tombs be-stow-ing life! Christ is ri-sen from
the dead, tram-pling down death by death,// and upon those in the
tombs be-stow-ing life!
Then the Little Litany (see following page for responses in various languages), with
the exclamation: For Thine is the majesty, and Thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory: of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
now and ever and unto ages of ages.

NOTE: According to The Paschal Service, prepared by Mr. John Erickson and Very Rev. Paul Lazor, there are different

of the Ninth Ode, “The Angel Cried,” once, and immediately sing the Paschal Troparion thrice as at the end of the other
odes. See the Appendix of this document (pp. 199-201) for alternate versions of Ode 9.
Heirmos:

Christ! Thou wast born of a Virgin yet not separated from the Fa-ther!
Thou hast suffered as a Man and voluntarily en - dured the Cross!
101
Thou hast ri - sen from the tomb, com - ing as from a bridal cham - ber
to save the world!// O Lord, glo-ry to Thee!
And immediately the choir begins the Paschal Verses, “Let God Arise,” on the
following page (with joy!):
102
The Paschal Verses – “Let God Arise!”
Znamenny Chant – H. Benigsen
Let God a-rise, let His e-ne-mies be scat - tered! To-day, a sa-cred
Pas-cha is re-vealed to us! A new and ho-ly Pas - cha! A my-sti-cal
Pas - cha! A Pas-cha wor-thy of ve-ne-ra - tion! A Pas-cha which
is Christ the Re-dee-mer! A blame-less Pas - cha! A great Pas-cha!
103
A Pas - cha of the faith - ful! A Pascha which has opened for us the

scene, O wo - men, bear - ers of glad ti - dings, and say to Zi - on:
Re - ceive from us the glad ti - dings of joy, of Christ's Re - sur - rec-
104

Christ the King, Who comes forth from the tomb// like a Bride-

God, but let the right - eous be glad! The myrrh - bear - ing wo - men,
at the break of dawn, drew near to the tomb of the Life - Giv - er.
105
There they found an an - gel sit - ting up - on the stone! He greet - ed
them with these words: Why do you seek the Li - ving a - mong the
dead? Why do you mourn the In - cor - rupt a - mid cor - rup - tion?//
Go, pro - claim the glad ti - dings to His Dis - ci - ples! This is the
Day which the Lord has made! Let us re - joice and be glad in it!
106
Pas-cha of beau - ty! The Pas-cha of the Lord! A Pascha worthy of
all ho-nor has dawned for us! Pas - cha! Let us em-brace each
o - ther joy - ous - ly! Pas - cha, ran - som from af - flic - tion! for to - day
as from a bri - dal cham - ber Christ has shone forth from the tomb
and filled the women with joy say-ing:// Pro-claim the glad ti-dings
107
to the A - pos - tles! Glo - ry to the Father, and to the Son, and to
the Ho-ly Spi-rit, now and ev-er and un-to a-ges of a-ges. A - men.
This is the Day of Re - sur - rec - tion! Let us be il - lum - ined by the
Feast! Let us em - brace each oth - er! Let us call "Bro - thers" ev - en
those that hate us, and for - give all by the Re - sur - rec - tion,//
108
and so let us cry: Christ is ri- sen from the dead, tram- pling down
death by death, and up - on those in the tombs be - stow - ing life!
Christ is ri - sen from the dead, tram - pling down death by death,
and up - on those in the tombs be - stow - ing life! Christ is ri - sen
from the dead, tram-pling down death by death, and up-on those
109
in the tombs be-stow-ing life!
The Paschal Catechetical Sermon of St. John Chrysostom
The Catechetical Sermon of St. John Chrysostom is read by the celebrant. No one sits during the reading, but all stand
and listen.
If any man be devout and loveth God, let him enjoy this fair and radiant triumphal Feast. If any man be a wise
servant, let him rejoicing enter into the joy of his Lord. If any have labored long in fasting, let him now receive
his recompense. If any have wrought from the first hour, let him today receive his just reward. If any have come
at the third hour, let him with thankfulness keep the Feast. If any have arrived at the sixth hour, let him have no
misgivings; because he shall in no wise be deprived therefor. If any have delayed until the ninth hour, let him
draw near, fearing nothing. If any have tarried even until the eleventh hour, let him, also, be not alarmed at his
tardiness; for the Lord, Who is jealous of His honor, will accept the last even as the first; He giveth rest unto him
who cometh at the eleventh hour, even as unto him who hath wrought from the first hour. And He showeth
mercy upon the last, and careth for the first; and to the one He giveth, and upon the other He bestoweth gifts.
And He both accepteth the deeds, and welcometh the intention, and honoreth the acts and praises the offering.
Wherefore, enter ye all into the joy of your Lord; and receive your reward, both the first, and likewise the second.
You rich and poor together, hold high festival. You sober and you heedless, honor the Day. Rejoice today, both
you who have fasted and you who have disregarded the fast. The table is full-laden; feast ye all sumptuously.
The calf is fatted; let no one go hungry away. Enjoy ye all the feast of faith: Receive ye all the riches of loving-
kindness. Let no one bewail his poverty, for the universal Kingdom has been revealed. Let no one weep for his
iniquities, for pardon has shone forth from the grave. Let no one fear death, for the Savior’s death has set us free.
He that was held prisoner of it has annihilated it. By descending into Hell, He made Hell captive. He embittered
it when it tasted of His flesh. And Isaiah, foretelling this, did cry: “Hell,” said he, “was embittered, when it
encountered Thee in the lower regions. It was embittered, for it was abolished. It was embittered, for it was
mocked. It was embittered, for it was slain. It was embittered, for it was overthrown. It was embittered, for it
was fettered in chains. It took a Body, and met God face to face. It took earth, and encountered Heaven. It took
that which was see, and fell upon the Unseen. O Death, where is thy sting? O Hell, where is thy victory? Christ
is risen, and thou art overthrown! Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen! Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice!
Christ is risen, and life reigns! Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave! For Christ, being risen from
the dead, is become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be glory and dominion unto ages of
ages. Amen.
And immediately the Troparion of St. John Chrysostom is sung, in Tone 8:
110
Troparion of St. John Chrysostom – “Grace Shining Forth”
Valaam Motif – Tone 8
Grace shin - ing forth, grace shin-ing forth from thy lips like
a bea - con has en-light-ened the un - i - verse! It has shown to
It
the world the rich - es of pov-er - ty! It has re - vealed to us,
It
has revealed to us…
111
has re - vealed to us the heights of hu - mi - li - ty! Teach - ing
us by thy words, O Fa - ther John Chry-so-stom, in-ter-
- cede be-fore the Word, Christ our God,// to save our souls!
NOTE: It is the practice of St. Symeon Orthodox Church to omit the
Augmented Litany, the Litany of Fervent Supplication, the Great Dismissal
of Matins, and the entirety of the Hours of Pascha, and immediately begin
the Divine Liturgy after the Troparion of St. John Chrysostom.
112
The Order
of the
Divine Liturgy
of
St. John Chrysostom
on the
Great and Holy
Sunday of Pascha
The Divine Liturgy immediately follows the Resurrection Matins. The Fast ends with the Divine Liturgy, with
our participation in the Precious Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. According to the Service Books, he
who worthily partakes of these divine and life-creating Mysteries, eats the true Pascha.
113
The Divine Liturgy
Priest: Blessed is the Kingdom of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
Choir: Amen.
***Clergy sing “Christ is Risen” thrice alone, then the choir repeats thrice:
Obikhod Melody
Christ is ri - sen from the dead, tram - pling down death by death,
and up - on those in the tombs be-stow-ing life! (Three times)
The prists and choir now proceed with the Paschal Troparion and verses as at the beginning of
Matins. During the singing of the above, the priest censes the altar, the iconostasis, and the
people. The clergy sing the verses, and the choir responds with the Paschal Troparion.
Verse 1: Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; let those who hate
Him flee from before His face!
Choir: Obikhod Melody “Christ is Risen” (above, once)
Verse 2: As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish; as wax melts before the
fire!
Choir: Quick Melody “Christ is Risen” (on the following page):

Ukranian Melody:
Christ is ri - sen from the dead, tram - pling down death by death,
and up-on those in the tombs be-stow-ing life!
115
Verse 4: This is the Day which the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be
glad in it!
Serbian Melody:
Christ is ri - sen from the dead, tram - pling down death by death,
and up-on those in the tombs be-stow-ing life!
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever
and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Choir: Greek Melody “Christ is Risen” (on the following page):
116
Greek Melody:
Christ is ri - sen from the dead, tram - pling down death by
death, and up - on those in the tombs be - stow - ing life!
Clergy: Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death!
And we finish:
And up - on those in the tombs be - stow - ing life!
The Great Litany and the prayer of the First Antiphon follow in the usual manner.

Spi - rit and the Virgin Mary, and be - came Man. And He was cru - ci-
- fied for us under Pon-tius Pi - late, and suf-fered, and was bur-
158
- ied. And the third day He rose again, ac-cord-ing to the Scrip-tures,
and ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Fa - ther,
and He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the
dead, Whose Kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Spi-rit,
the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Fa - ther,
159
Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glo-
- ri - fied, Who spoke by the Pro - phets. In One, Holy, Catholic, and
Ap - o - sto - lic Church. I acknowledge one Baptism for the re - mis-
- sion of sins. I look for the Re-sur-rec-tion of the dead,// and the
Life of the World to come. A-men.

The Reader immediately reads Psalm 33:
190
PSALM XXXIII. 33 (Part 1)
David’s. When He Changed His Countenance before
Abimelech, and Was Dismissed, and Went Away.
I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my
mouth. In the Lord shall my soul be praised; let the meek hear and be
glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. I
sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my
tribulations. Come unto Him, and be enlightened, and your faces shall not
be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved
him out of all his tribulations. The angel of the Lord will encamp round
about them that fear Him, and will deliver them. O taste and see that the
Lord is good; blessed is the man that hopeth in Him. O fear the Lord, all ye
His saints; for there is no want to them that fear Him. Rich men have
turned poor and gone hungry; but they that seek the Lord shall not be
deprived of any good thing.
Priest: The blessing of the Lord…
Choir: Amen.
And the Paschal Dismissal, on the following page:
191
The Paschal Dismissal
Instead of “Glory to Thee, O Christ our God…,” the priest sings:
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death!...
And the Choir responds:
and up - on those in the tombs be-stow-ing life!
The celebrant gives the Paschal dismissal:
May Christ, Who is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death,
and upon those in the tombs bestowing life, our true God, through the
prayers of His most pure Mother, and of all the saints, have mercy on us
and save us, for He is good and loves mankind!
Choir: Amen!
$ Christ is Risen! $
Indeed He is Risen!
After several “Christ is Risens” in various languages, the choir sings the Serbian
Melody “Christ is Risen,” on the following page:
192
Serbian Melody:
Christ is ri - sen from the dead, tram - pling down death by death,
and up-on those in the tombs be-stow-ing life! Three times
And after the singing of the Troparion, we finish with:
And un - to us He has giv - en e - ter - nal life! Let us wor - ship His Re-
Christ is
- sur-rec-tion on the third day!
Risen!
Indeed He
