Part 9 (1/2)

Now Christ the G.o.d to earth hath come, And made our dwelling place His home; And in our flesh the G.o.d-Man gives The life by which His people lives.

II

Bound to the Cross He bleeding dies, That man from sin forgiven may rise; And by the grace of G.o.d set free, Live in His service endlessly.

III

They who in Adam sinning fell, With Christ ascend with G.o.d to dwell; And through the pain the Saviour bore, Are freed from pain for evermore.

IV

And where the Christ 'mong myriads bright Sits on His throne of peerless light, There dwell the saints who by His grace Share on the throne the victor's place.

V

Glory to Thee, our Father, G.o.d, Who dwell'st in heaven, Thy high abode; Glory to Thee, O Christ the Son, And Holy Ghost, blest Three in One.

{hai myrophoroi gynaikes}

I

Morn of beauty, joyous morn, Hails the Resurrection Day, All our fears are borne away, Hope into our world is born.

II

See, the stone is rolled away; Empty stands the silent tomb, Death is dead, and gone the gloom Where the risen Saviour lay.

III

Women bear the spices, sad, In the early morning grey, But they wiped their tears away, For the angel made them glad.

IV

Tell the tidings far abroad, ”He is risen even as He said,”

Life immortal from the dead Is the gift of Christ our G.o.d.

V

Glory, glory evermore, To the Christ who died to save, Wresting victory from the grave, To the Christ we now adore.
