DIVINE LITURGY PROPERS:

Tropar of the Resurrection, Tone 1 When the stone had been sealed by the Jews, while the soldiers were guarding Your Most Pure Body, You arose on the third day, Savior, granting life to the world. Therefore, the Powers of Heaven cried out to You, Giver of Life: Glory to Your Resurrection, Christ. Glory to Your Kingdom. Glory to Your Divine Plan, only Lover of Mankind.

Tropar to All Saints of Ukraine, Tone 8 As beautiful fruit of salvation you have sown, Lord, the land of Ukraine offers You the Saints who have shone in her land. By their intercession and through the Birth-Giver of God, preserve the Church and our land in profound peace, Greatly Merciful One.

Tropar of the Dormition, Tone 1 In giving birth, you preserved your virginity. In falling asleep you did not forsake the world, Birth-Giver of God. You were translated to life, Mother of Life, and through your prayers you deliver our souls from death.

Glory…Kondak of All Saints, Tone 3 Today the choir of God-pleasing Saints from the land of Ukraine stands invisibly with us in church praying to God on our behalf; with them the angels render glory and all the Saints of Christ’s Church celebrate: for together they pray to the Eternal God for us.

Now and ever…Kondak of the Resurrection, Tone 1 As God, You arose from the tomb in glory, raising the world with Yourself. Human nature praises You as God, for death has vanished. Adam exults, Master. Eve, freed from bondage, rejoices and cries out: “You, Christ, are the Giver of Resurrection to all.”

Prokimen of the Resurrection, Tone 1 Let Your mercy, Lord, be upon us as we have put our hope in You.

Verse: Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous. Praise befits the upright.

Prokimen for the Saints, Tone 7 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints.

Verse: Clap your hands, all you nations, shout to God with joyous voices. Alleluia Verses, Tone 3 I place my hope in You, Lord, grant that I do not mourn forever.

Verse: Be to me a God of protection, a firm refuge, that You may save me.

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord and abides in His commandments.

Communion Hymn: Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the highest.

Rejoice in the Lord, you Righteous, praise befits the upright. (Alleluia 3X)
