quot;Lord I Call..." Tone 3

Lord, I call upon You, hear me.

Hear me, O Lord.

Lord, I call upon You, hear me.

Receive the voice of my prayer,

when I call upon You.

Hearme, O Lord.

Let my prayer arise

in Your sight as incense,

and let the lifting up of my hands

be an evening sacrifice.

Hearme, O Lord.

v. (10) Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to Your name!

Tone 3 (for the Resurrection)

By Your Cross, O Christ our Savior,

death's dominion has been shattered;

the devil's delusion destroyed.

The human race, being saved by faith,//

always offers You a song.

v. (9) The righteous will surround me; for You will deal bountifully with me.

All has been enlightened by Your Resurrection, O Lord.

Paradise has been opened again.

All creation, praising You,//

always offers You a song.

v. (8) Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice!

I glorify the power of the Father and the Son.

I praise the authority of the Holy Spirit:

the undivided, uncreated Godhead,//

the consubstantial Trinity which reigns forever.

v. (7) Let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!

(for the Resurrection, by Anatolios)

We bow down in worship before Your precious Cross, O Christ,

and we glorify and praise Your Resurrection,//

for by Your wounds we have all been healed.

v. (6) If You, O Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You.

We praise the Savior incarnate of the Virgin,

for He was crucified for our sake and resurrected on the third day,//

granting us great mercy.

v. (5) For Your name's sake I have waited for You, O Lord, my soul has waited for Your word; my soul has hoped on the Lord.

Christ descended to hell proclaiming the glad tidings:

“Be bold! Now I have triumphed!

I am the Resurrection, I will lead you out,//

for I have shattered the gates of death!”

v. (4) From the morning watch until night, from the morning watch, let Israel hope on the Lord!

Standing unworthily in Your most pure house, O Christ God,

we offer our evening song, crying from the depths:

“Deliver Your people from the hand of Your enemies, O Lover of

mankind,

Who enlightened the world by Your Resurrection on the third day!”

v. (3) For with the Lord there is mercy and with Him is plenteous redemption, and He will deliver Israel from all his iniquities.

Tone 1(Idiomela, from the Pentecostarion)

With Your pure hand, You created man;

You came to heal the sick, O compassionate Christ.

By Your word You raised the paralytic at the Sheep's Pool,

You cured the pain of the woman with the issue of blood.

You had mercy on the Canaanite woman's daughter.

You did not reject the request of the centurion.

Therefore we cry to You://

“Glory to You, O Almighty Lord!”

v. (2) Praise the Lord, all nations! Praise Him, all peoples!

(Repeat: “With Your pure hand, You created man…”)

v. (1) For His mercy is abundant towards us; and the truth of the Lord endures for ever.

The Paralytic was like an unburied corpse.

He saw You and shouted: “Lord, have mercy on me!

My bed has become my grave! Why should I live?

What use is the Sheep'sPool to me?

I have no one to put me into the pool when the waters are stirred.

I come to You, O Fountain of healing.

Raise me up, that with all I may cry to You://

‘Glory to You, O Almighty Lord!’”

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;

Tone 5(from the Pentecostarion)

Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

He came to the Sheep's Pool, called in Hebrew “Bethesda.”

It had five porches, each filled with a multitude of the sick,

for at certain times an Angel of the Lord stirred up the water,

and granted strength to those who approached in faith.

There the Lord saw a man who for many years had been afflicted.

He said: “Do you want to be whole?”

The sick man replied to the Lord:

“I have no man to lower me into the pool when the water is stirred.

I have spent all my wealth on physicians,

but have not been granted mercy!”

The Physician of souls and bodies said to him:

“Take up your bed and walk!//

Proclaim My power and great mercy to the ends of the earth!”

now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Tone 3 (Theotokion – Dogmatikon)

How can we not wonder

at your mystical childbearing, O exalted Mother?

For without receiving the touch of man,

you gave birth to a Son in the flesh, immaculate Virgin.

The Son born of the Father before eternity

was born of you at the fullness of time, O honored Lady.

He underwent no mingling, no change, no division,

but preserved the fullness of each nature.

Entreat Him, O Lady and Virgin, and Mother,

to save the souls of those who, in the Orthodox manner, confess you//

to be the Theotokos
