Divine Liturgy

Antiphon 1 (Ps 114/115)

I love the Lord because He has heard the voice of my supplication.

Refrain: Through the prayers of the Theotokos, O Savior, save us!

Because He inclined His ear to me; therefore I will call on Him as long as I live. R

The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of hell laid hold on me. R

I suffered distress and anguish, so I called upon the Name of the Lord. R

I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living. R

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. R

Antiphon 2 (Ps 115/116)

I kept my faith, even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted. ”

Refrain: O Son of God, seated on the colt of an ass, save us who sing to Thee: Alleluia!

What shall I render to the Lord for all the things He has given me? R

I will receive the cup of salvation, and call upon the Name of the Lord. R

I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people. R

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy endureth forever!

Tone 1 Troparion

By raising Lazarus from the dead before Thy passion,

Thou didst confirm the universal resurrection, O Christ God.

Like the children with the palms of victory,

we cry out to Thee, O Vanquisher of Death:

“Hosanna in the highest!

Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord. ”

Let the house of Israel say that He is good, for His mercy endureth forever!

Troparion: “By raising Lazarus from the dead …”

Let the house of Aaron say that He is good, for His mercy endureth forever!

Troparion: “By raising Lazarus from the dead …”

Let those who fear the Lord say that He is good, for His mercy endureth forever!

Troparion: “By raising Lazarus from the dead …”
