~The King shall rejoice in thy strength, O
Lord: exceeding glad shall he be of thy sal-

Thou hast given him his heart’s desire : and hast
not denied him the request of his lips.

For thou shalt prevent him with the blessings
of goodness: and shalt set a crown of pure gold
upon his head.

He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him a long
life: even for ever and ever.

His honour is great in thy salvation: glory and

many are they that rise against me.

Many one there be that say of my soul; There
is no help for him in his God.

But thou, O Lord, art my defender: thou art
my worship, and the lifter wp of my head.

I did call upon the Lord with my voice : and
he heard me out of his holy hill.

I laid me down and slept, and rose up again:
for the Lord sustained me.

I will not be afraid for ten thousands of the
people; that have set themselves against me round
about ; up, Lord, and help me, O my God.

For thou smitest all mine enemies upon the
cheek-bone ; thou hast broken the teeth of the
ungodly,

Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: and thy
blessing is upon thy people,

And again,
I laid me down and slept, and rose up again:

PSALM 37.

Put me not to rebuke, Ὁ Lord, in thine anger:
neither chasten me in thy heavy displeasure.
' For thine arrows stick fast in me: and thy hand
presseth me sore.
There is no health in my flesh, because of thy
displeasure: neither is there any rest in my bones,
by reason of my sin.

For my wickednesses are gone over my head:
and are like a sore burden, too heavy for me to bear.

My wounds stink, and are corrupt : through my
foolishness. Ὁ

I am brought into so great trouble and misery :
that I go mourning all the day long.

_ For my loins are filled with a sore disease : and
there is no whole part in my body.
I am feeble, and sore smitten: I have roared
for the very disquietness of my heart.
Lord, thou knowest all my desire: and my
groaning is not hid from thee.
ΠΟ My heart panteth, my strength hath failed me :

and the sight of mine eyes is gone from me.

ing upon my trouble: and my kinsmen stood
afar off.

They also that sought after my life laid snares
for me: and they that went about to do me evil
talked of wickedness, and imagined deceit all the

As for me, I was like a deaf man, and heard

I became even as a man that heareth not: and
in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For in thee, O Lord, have I put my trust: thou
shalt answer for me, O Lord my God.

I have required that they, even mine enemies,
should not triumph over me: for when my foot
slipped, they rejoiced greatly against me.

And I, truly, am set in the plague: and my

For I will confess my wickedness : and be sorry
for my sin.

But mine enemies live, and are mighty: and

For look how high the heaven is in comparison

Look how wide also the'east is from the west :

Yea, like as a father pitieth his own children:

The days of man are but as grass: for he flourish-

For as soon as the wind goeth over it, it is gone:

And when he was come into the temple, the

I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
And he came to the second, and said likewise.
And he answered and said, I go, sir; and went

father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus
saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the

built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and
went into afar country. And when the time of the

glorified by Him Who beholds the hearts of men
and bestows an incorruptible crown.

Stanza, Let us now add our lamentation to
that of him who laments, and let us pour out
our tears with those of Jacob bewailing Joseph
his glorious and wise son. For Joseph, though
enslaved in body, preserved his soul in freedom,
and became lord over all Egypt. For God pre-
pares for His servants an incorruptible crown.

On Monday in Holy Week commemoration
is made of the blessed and noble Joseph, and
of the fig tree which was cursed and withered
by the Lord.

Lines. The wise Joseph shewed himself a just
ruler, and distributor of corn. Praise to thee, O
goodly giver of grain.

The synagogue of the Hebrews is to the mind
of Christ a fig tree destitute of spiritual fruit, and

He withers it with His curse.
Let us flee from a like fate,

οὐ Through the intercessions of noble Joseph, O
Christ our God, have mercy upon us,

of Thee that the honour of a temporal kingdom

Thou didst promise to Thy friends that they

~The same day came to’ him the Sadducees,

having no children, his brother shall marry his
wife, and raise up seed unto his brother, Now
there were with us seven brethren : and the first,
when he had married a wife, deceased, and,
having no, issue, left his wife unto his brother:
likewise the second also, and the third, unto the
seventh, And last.of all the woman died. also.
Therefore, in the resurrection whose wife shall she
be of the seven? for they all had her. Jesus
answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not
knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor
are given in marriage, but are as the angels
of God in heaven. But as touching the resur-
rection of the dead, have ye not read that
which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I

When the Pharisees had heard that Jesus had
put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered
together. Then one of them who was a lawyer,
asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
‘Master, which is the great commandment in the
Law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy: mind. This is the first
‘and great commandment. And the second is
like unto it,,Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself... On these two commandments hang all
the Law and the Prophets.

While the Pharisees were gathered together,
Jesus asked them,.saying, What think ye of Christ ?
whose son is he?.. They say unto him, The son
of David. He saith unto them, How then doth
David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The Lord
said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David
then call him Lord, how is he his Son? And

good works; let another celebrate a service of
splendour ; let another faithfully communicate the
Word to the ignorant; let another scatter his
wealth to the poor ; for thus we increase our debt,
and as faithful stewards of the grace given, we may
be rendered more worthy of our Master’s favour.
Of this, of Thy mercy, do Thou, O Christ our
God, deem us worthy.

Lines, Early have we been filled with Thy
loving kindness, and we did exult and rejoice. Let
us rejoice in all our days, in return for the days
wherein Thou didst afflict us, the years wherein
we saw evil,

When Thou, O Jesus, shalt come in glory with
the Heavenly Hosts, and shalt sit upon the throne
of Thy Judgment, O Good Shepherd, drive me not
away. For Thou knowest the ways of righteous-
ness, and those on the left have turned aside ; there-
fore suffer me not to perish with the goats, though I
be rugged with sin, but number me with the flocks
on Thy right hand, and of Thy mercy save me.

Lines. And let the splendour of the Lord our
God be upon us, and do Thou direct for us the
works of our hands, even the work of our hands
do Thou direct.

Reader, And the daughter of Pharaoh came
down to wash herself at the river; and her
maidens walked along by the river’s side; and
when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent
her maid to fetch it. And when she had opened
it, she saw the child : and, behold, the babe wept.
And she had compassion on him, and said, This is
one of the Hebrews’ children. Then said his
sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call
to thee a nurse of the Hebrew wonmien, that she
may nurse the child for thee? And. Pharaoh’s
daughter said to her, Go, -And the maid went
and called the child’s mother. And Pharaoh’s
daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and
nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.
And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
And the child grew, and she brought him unto
Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son, And
she called his name Moses : and she said, Because
I drew him out of the water.

and would not have suffered his house to be broken
up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an
hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his
lord hath made ruler over his household, to give
them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant
whom his lord when he cometh shall find so

him ruler overall his goods, But and if that evil
servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his
coming ; and» shall begin to smite his fellow-
servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken ;
the lord of that servant shall come in a day when
he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is
not aware of, and shall cut him asunder, and

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling
into a far country, who called his own servants,
and delivered unto them his goods. And unto
one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
another one; to every man according to his
several ability ; and straightway took his journey.
Then he that had received the five talents went
and traded with the same, and made them other
five talents. And likewise he that had received
two, he also gained other two. But he that had
received one went and digged in the earth, and
hid his lord’s money. After a long time the lord
of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with
them, And so he that had received five talents
came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord,
thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I
have gained besides them five talents more, His
lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and
faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a
few things, I will make thee ruler over many
things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. He
also that had received two talents came and said,
Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: be-
hold, I have gained two other talents besides
them. His lord said unto him, Well done,

Then he which had received the one talent came
and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard
man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and
gathering where thou hast not strawed: and I was
afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth :
lo, there thou hast that is thine. His lord
answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and
slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where
I sowed not, and. gather, where 1. have. not
strawed; thou oughtest therefore to have put
my money to the exchangers, and then at my
coming I should have received mine own with
usury. Take therefore the talent from him, and
give it unto him which hath ten talents, For
unto every one that hath shall be given, and he
shall have abundance: but from him that hath
not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer

Sessional Verses. The harlot came to Thee,
O merciful Master, and poured out upon Thy feet
myrrh with her tears, and redeemed the offence of
her vices at Thy command; but Thy graceless
disciple, breathing Thy grace, rejected it, and
becoming involved in a morass of crime, he sells
Thee in his avarice. Glory to Thy compassion
O Christ.

4TH TONE.

The treacherous Judas, wrapped up in avarice,
set out treacherously to betray Thee, O Lord, the
Treasury of Life. Wherefore in his violence he
goes to the lawless Jews and saith to them: What
will ye give me, and I will deliver Him to you,
that He may be crucified ?

1st TONE.

The harlot, in her grief, called upon Thee,
O Lord of compassion, and fervently dried Thy
sacred feet with the hair of her head, and from
the depths of her lamentations cried : Cast me not
‘out, neither destroy me, O my God, but receive
me in my repentance and save me, for Thou alone
art merciful,

Priest, At that time the people that was with

‘and raised him from the dead, bare record. For
this cause the people also met him, for that they
‘heard that he had done this miracle. The Phari-
sees therefore said among themselves, Perceive
ye how ye prevail nothing ? behold, the world is
gone after him.

And there were certain Greeks among them
that came up to worship at the feast: the
‘same came therefore to Philip, which was of
Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir,
we would see Jesus. Philip cometh and telleth
Andrew : and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

I, if 1 be lifted up from the earth, will draw all

While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye

Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from
them. But though he had done so many miracles
before them, yet they believed not on him: that
the saying of Esaias the prophet might be ful-
filled, which he spake, ‘* Lord, who hath believed
our report? and to whom hath the arm of the
Lord been revealed?” Therefore they could not
believe, because that Esaias said again, ‘‘ He hath
blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart ; that
they should not see with their eyes, nor under-
stand with their heart, and be converted, and I
should heal them.” These things said Esaias,
when he saw his glory, and spake ofhim. Never-
theless among the chief rulers also many believed
on him; but because of the Pharisees they did
not confess him, lest they should be put out of the
synagogue: for they loved the praise of men
more than the praise of God. Jesus cried and said,

and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not
to judge the world, but to save the world. He
that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words,
hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have
spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father
which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what
I should say, and what I should speak. And I
know that his commandment is life everlasting :
whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father
said unto me, so I speak.

bow down before Thee, with fervour I embrace
Thy sacred feet, that Thou mayest grant forgiveness
of sins to me when I cry to Thee, O Saviour:
Deliver me from the morass of my evil deeds.

her shameful deeds and carnal pleasures; she
reflected on the magnitude of her shame, and
the judgement of condemnation which awaits
prodigals and harlots, Of these indeed the first
am I, and I am in terror, but foolishly abide in
my perverse habits. The harlot also was in terror,
and at once she hastened and came and cried to
the Redeemer: Of Thy mercy and pity, deliver me
from the morass of my evil deeds.

On Wednesday in Holy Week it has been

Wherein the birds make their nests: and the

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats:

He appointed the moon for certain seasons :
and the sun knoweth his going down.

Thou makest darkness that it may be night:
wherein all the beasts of the forest do move.

The lions roaring after their prey: do seek
their meat from God.

The sun ariseth, and they get them away

lest there be an uproar among the people. Now
when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon
thé leper, there came unto him a woman having
an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and
poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But
when his disciples saw it, they had indignation,
saying, To what purpose is’ this waste? For this
ointment might have been sold for much, and
given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he
said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for
she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye
have the poor always with you; but me ye have
not always....For in that. she hath poured this
ointment on my body, she did it for my burial,
Verily I say unto. you, Wheresoever this gospel
shall be preached in the whole world, there shall
also this, that this woman ‘hath done, be told for
a memorial of her.. Then one of the twelve, called
Judas Iscariot, went.unto the chief priests, and
said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will
deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with
him for thirty, pieces of silver. And from that

hands, saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ,
Who is he that smote thee? Now Peter sat with-
out in the palace: and a damsel came unto him,
saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. But
he denied before them all, saying, I know not
what thou sayest. And when he was gone out
into the porch, another maid saw him, and said
unto them that were there, This fellow was also
with Jesus of Nazareth. And again he denied
with an oath, I do not know the man, And after
a while came unto him they that stood by, and
said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them,
for thy speech bewrayeth thee. Then began he
to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man.
And immediately the cock crew. And Peter re-
membered the word of Jesus, which said unto
him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me
thrice. And he went out and wept bitterly.
(Chap. xxvii.) When the morning was come,
all the chief priests and elders of the people
took counsel against Jesus, to put him to death.
And when they had bound him, they led him
away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the
governor.

FIRST GOSPEL.
John xiii. 31.

The Lord said to his disciples, Now is the
Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify
him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
Little children, yet a little while I am with you.

τς Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews,

Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say
to you. A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another; as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another. By this shall
all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye
have love one’ to another. Simon Peter said
unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus
answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not
follow me now; but thou shalt follow me after-
wards, Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot
Ι follow thee now? 1 will lay down my life for
thy sake, Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay
down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou
hast denied me thrice.

(Chap. xiv.) Let not your heart be troubled ;
ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my
Father’s house are many mansions ; if it were not
so, I would have told you. I. go to prepare a
place for you: and if I. go and prepare a place
for you, I will come again, and receive you unto
myself, that where I.am, there ye may be also.
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not
whither thou goest, and how can we know the
way? Jesus saith unto him, Iam the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father but by me. If ye had known me, ye
should have known my Father also: and from
henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father,
and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have
I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou
not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me
hath seen the Father ; and how sayest thou then,
Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I
am in the Father, and the Father in me? The
words that I speak unto you I speak not of
myself; but the Father that dwelleth in me, he
doeth the works. Believe me, that I am in the

how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us,
and not unto the world? Jesus answered and
said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep
my words: and my Father will love him, and
we will come unto him, and make our abode
with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not
my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not
mine, but the Father’s which sent me. These
things have I spoken unto you, being yet present
with you, But the Comforter, which is the Holy

he shall teach you all things, and bring all things
to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said
unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace
I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give
I unto you, Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I
said unto you, I go away, and come again unto

I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is

hath no man than this, that a man lay down his

do unto you, because they have not known the
Father, nor me. But these things have I told
you, that, when the time shall come, ye may re-

I said not unto you at the beginning, because I
was with you. But now I go my way to him that
sent me, and none of you asketh me, Whither
goest thou? But, because I have said these things

Comforter will not come unto you ; but if I de-
part, I will send him unto you. And when he is
come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgement: of sin, because
they believe not on me ; of righteousness, because
I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; of
judgement, because the prince of this world is

| John asked Thee: O Lord, who is he that

the bread; but the lawless Judas was unwilling

By thirty pieces of silver, and by a treacherous
kiss, the Jews sought to slay Thee, O Lord; but
the lawless Judas was unwilling to understand.

At the washing of the feet, Thou, O Christ
our God, didst exhort Thy disciples: Do ye as
ye see Me do; but the lawless Judas was unwilling
to understand.

Watch and pray, that ye be not tempted, Thou,
O God, didst say to Thy disciples ; but the lawless
Judas was unwilling to understand.

At that time Jesus went forth with his disciples
over the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into
the which he entered, and his disciples. And Judas
also, which betrayed him, knew the place; for
Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
Judas then, having received a band of men and
officers from the chief priests and Pharisees,
cometh thither with lanterns and torches and
weapons. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that
should come upon him, went forth, and said unto

Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am

with them. As soon then as he had said unto
them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to
the ground, Then asked he them again, Whom
seek ye? and they said, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus
answered, I have told you that Iam he. If there-

and officers stood there, who had made a fire of
coals; for it was cold; and they warmed them-
selves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed
himself. The high priest then asked Jesus of his
disciples, and of his doctrine. Jesus answered
him, I spake openly to the world ; I ever taught
in the synagogue, and. in the temple, whither the
Jews always resort; and in secret have I said
nothing. Why askest thou me? ask them which
heard me, what I have said unto them: behold,
they know what I said. And when he had thus
spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck
Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answer-

est thou the high priest so? Jesus answered him,
If. I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil ;

but if well, why smitest thou me? Now nes
had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

Render unto them, O Lord, according to their

_ At that time Judas, when he saw that Jesus
was condemned, repented himself, and brought
again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief
priests and elders, saying, I have sinned, in
that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And
they said, What is that to us? see thou to
that. And he cast down the pieces of silver in
the temple, and departed, and went and hanged
himself. And the chief priests took the silver
pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them
into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
And they took counsel, and bought with them the
potter’s field, to bury strangers in, Wherefore
that field was called, The field of blood, unto this
day) (Then was fulfilled that which was spoken

Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how

the governor was wont to release unto the people
a prisoner, whom they would. And they had

Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? For he
knew that for envy they had delivered him. When

At that time the soldiers led Jesus away into the

whole band. And they clothed him with purple,
and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about
his head: and began to salute him, Hail, King

with a reed, and did spit. upon him, and bowing
their knees worshipped him, And when they

And they bring him unto the place Golgotha,
which is, being interpreted, the place of a skull.
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with
myrrh ; but he received it not. And when they
had crucified him they parted his garments,
casting lots upon them, what every man should
take. And it was the third hour, and they cruci-
fied him. And the superscription of His accusa-

JEWS. And with him they crucify two thieves,
the one on his right hand, and the other on his
left. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith,
And he was numbered with the transgressors.
And they that passed by railed on him, wagging
their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest

And the sun was darkened, and the vail of the
temple was rent in the midst. And when Jesus
had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into
thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said
thus, he gave up the ghost. Now when the cen-
turion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying,
Certainly this was a righteous man. And all the
people that came together to that sight, beholding
_ the things that were done, smote their breasts,
_ and returned. And all his acquaintance, and the
women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar
ἢ off, beholding these things,

Verses. (With washed feet, and themselves
purified by participation in the Divine Mystery,
Thy servants, O Christ, now come together from
Sion to the great mount of Olives, and they praise
Thee, O Merciful Lord.)

(Thou didst say: See, O My friends, that ye be
not troubled, for now the hour is nigh for Me to be
given up and slain by the hands of lawless men.
All ye shall be scattered, forsaking Me ; but those

Lamb led to the slaughter, followed wailing with

Thou, O my child? Why dost Thou travel along

| On Good Friday is celebrated the holy, saving,
_ and awful Passion of our Lord and God and
Saviour Jesus Christ. For us He willingly en-
_ dured the spittings, the scourgings, the buffetings,
_ the scorn, the mocking, and the purple robe ; the
reed, the sponge, the vinegar, the nails, the spear,
and, above all, the Cross and Death,

_ Also is celebrated the confession on the cross

At that time there stood by the cross of Jesus
his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife
of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus
therefore saw his mother, and the disciple stand-
ing by, whom He loved, He saith unto his mother,
Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the
disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that
hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were
now accomplished, that the scripture might be
fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a
vessel full of vinegar; and they filled a spunge
_ with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it

to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received

TENTH GOSPEL.
Mark xv. 43-47.

At that time Joseph of Arimathea, an honour-
able counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom
of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and
craved the body of Jesus. And Pilate marvelled
if he were already dead: and, calling unto him
_ the centurion, he asked him whether he had been
_ any while dead. And when he knew it of the
_ centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. And
he bought fine linen, and took him down, and
wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a
_ sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and
- rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor
comeliness ; and when we saw him there was no
beauty nor comeliness. He is despised and re-
jected of men ; a man of sorrows, and acquainted
with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from
him ; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our
Sorrows : yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten
of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for
our transgressions, he was bruised for our ini-
quities: the chastisement of our peace was upon
him; and with his stripes we are healed. ΑἹ] we
like sheep have gone astray ; we have turned every
one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on
him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and
he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth : he
is brought as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a
lamb before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not
his mouth. In his humiliation his judgement was
taken away : and who shall declare his generation ?

see your calling, brethren, how that not many

him glory in the Lord... (Chap, ii.) And I,

2 ee Pilate the governor. Then Judas who
betrayed him, when he saw that he was con-
demned, repented himself, and brought again the
thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
saying, I have sinned, in that I have betrayed
the innocent blood, And they said, What is that
to us? see thou to that. And he cast down the
pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and
went and hanged himself. And the chief priests
tOok the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for
to put them into the treasury, because it is the
price of blood. And they took counsel, and bought
with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood,
unto this day. (Then was fulfilled that which
was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And
they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price
of him that was valued, whom they of the children
of Israel did value, and gave them for the potter’s
field, as the Lord appointed me.) And Jesus
stood before the governor ; and the governor asked
him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And
us said unto him, Thou sayest. And when he
accused of the chief priests and elders, he
answered nothing. Then saith Pilate unto him,

preparation, that the bodies should not remain
upon the cross on the sabbath-day, (for that

that their legs might be broken, and that they
might be taken away. Then came the soldiers,

To-day Hades cried out groaning: My authority

one of the mortals; but against this One I availed
not. I perish with Him and with those I had
ruled. From eternity I had held the Dead, but
behold, He raiseth up.all.. Glory to Thy Cross,

has been trampled on; the Shepherd has been
crucified, and He raised up Adam; I have been
deprived of those over whom I ruled, and all those
whom I swallowed in my strength I have dis-
gorged, He Who was crucified has cleared the
tombs ; and the power of Death avails not. Glory
to Thy Cross, O Lord, and to Thy Resurrection.

face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved

_ upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let
there be light: and there was light. And God

saw the light, that it was good: and God divided

the light from the darkness. And God called the

light Day, and the darkness he called Night.

_ And the evening and the morning were day one.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the

midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters

from the waters, and it was so, And God made

the firmament, and divided the waters which were
under the firmament from the waters which were

above the firmament, and it was so. And God

called the firmament Heaven, And God saw that

it was good. And the evening and the morning

Deacon, Wisdom. Let us attend.

Reader. Now the word of the Lord came unto
Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to
Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for
their wickedness is come up before me. But Jonah
rose up to fice unto Tarshish from the presence of
the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found
a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare
thereof, and went down into it, to go with them
unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. But
the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and
there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that
the ship was like to be broken. Then the mariners
were afraid, and cried every man unto his god,
and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into
the sea, to lighten it of them, But Jonah was
gone down into the sides of the ship ; and he lay,
and was fast asleep. So the shipmaster came to
him, and said unto him, What meanest thou,
O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that
God will think upon us, that we perish not. And
they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let
us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause
this evil is upon us, So they cast lots, and the
lot fell upon Jonah. Then said they unto him,

feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice
unto the Lord, and made vows. Now the Lord
had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah.
And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three
1 days and three nights. (Chap, ii.) Then Jonah
} prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s
belly. And said, I cried by reason of mine
affliction unto the Lord my God, and he heard
me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou
heardest my voice. For thou hadst cast me
into the deep, in the midst of the seas ; and the
floods compassed me about: all thy billows and

thy holy temple. The waters compassed me
about, even to my soul: the depth closed me
round about ; my head went down to the bottoms
of the mountains; the earth with her bars was
about me forever. Yet hast thou brought up my

we have been planted together in the likeness of
his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his
‘resurrection: knowing this, that our old man is
crucified with him, that the body of sin might be
destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve

** shatter the everlasting bars, which held fast
** those who were fettered ; and on the third day,
** like Jonah from the whale, Thou didst arise from

4TH PLaG. Tone,

Collect. O Christ our God, though Thou didst
descend into the grave, yet didst Thou overthrow
the power of Hades and rise as an Immortal
Conqueror, Thou didst greet the Myrrh-bearing
women, and to Thine Apostles give peace, and to
the fallen bring resurrection.

‘Stanza. The Myrrh-bearing maidens anticipated
the dawn and sought, as those who seek the day,
their Sun, Who was before the sun and Who had

once submitted to the grave. And they cried to
each other: O friends, come, let us anoint with

Which raised up the fallen Adam, and which now
lies in the tomb. Let us go, like the Magi; let

myrrh as a gift to Him, Who is wrapped, not now
swathing-bands, but in a winding-sheet, _ Let

were made by him ; and without him was not any
thing made that was made. In him was life; and
the life was the light of men. And the light
shineth in darkness ; and the darkness compre-

There was.a man sent from God, whose name

witness of the Light, that all men through him
might believe. He was not that Light, but was
sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the
true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh

world was made by him, and the world knew him
not. He came unto his own, and his own received
him not. But as many as received him, to them
gave he power to become the sons of God, even
to them that believe on his name, Which were
born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor

_ void. It was embittered for it was mocked. It

Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto

them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy

HYMNS OF PRAISE.

FIRST PART.
1951 PuLaG. Tone.

Thou, O Christ the Life, wast laid in the tomb,
and armies of angels were amazed, and they glori-
fied Thy Humiliation.

O Life, how canst Thou die? how canst Thou
dwell in the tomb? Thou dost break down the
kingdom of Death, and hast raised up those who
were dead in Hades.

We magnify Thee, O Jesus our King, and we
honour Thy Tomb and Passion, through which
Thou hast saved us from corruption.

Thou, O Jesus, King of all, Who didst set the
measurements of Earth, to-day dwellest in a nar-
row grave, and dost raise the dead from the tombs.

O Christ, the King of all, why hast Thou come
to seek out them that are dead in Hades? or to
release the race of mortals?

The Master of all truly is seen dead, and He is
laid in the new tomb, Who emptied the tombs of
the dead.

Thou, O Christ the Life, wast laid in the tomb,
and by Thy Death Thou didst destroy Death and
shed life upon the world,

Thou, O Christ, numbered among evil-doers
as an evil-doer, didst absolve us all from the evil
deeds of the ancient supplanter.

He Who exceeds in beauty all mortals, and
Who Himself beautified the whole of Nature,
appears now as a formless corpse.

O Saviour, how could Hades withstand Thy
Presence, and not rather be shattered in its dark-
ness, blinded by the splendour of Thy dazzling
brightness ?

Beloved Jesus, and Light of Salvation, how
hast Thou been hidden in the darkness of the
tomb? O unutterable and ineffable forbearance !

Both the Mind of Nature and the angelic hosts
are at a loss to understand the mystery, O Christ,
of Thine ineffable and inexplicable burial.

O strangest of miracles ! O latest of happenings !
He, Who gave me breath, is carried away bereft
of breath, and is buried by the hands of Joseph.

Thou, O Christ, didst sink down into the grave,
and yet in no wise didst Thou leave the bosom
of the Father. How strange and marvellous a
happening !

HYMNS OF PRAISE. 295

Thou, O Christ, wast known to all creation, as
truly the King of the firmament and of the earth,
even though Thou wert enclosed in the narrowest
of graves. ᾿

When Thou, O Christ the Fashioner, wert laid
in the tomb, the foundations of Hades were shaken
and the graves of mortals were opened,

He, Who holds the earth in his grasp, is now by
the earth held dead according to the flesh; and
from the hold of Hades redeems the dead.

When Thou, O Saviour, didst die and dwell
among the dead and shatter the bolts of Hades,
Thou, O my Life, didst ascend from corruption.

Now as a lamp of light the flesh of God is
hidden under the earth, as under a bushel, and
chases away the darkness from Hades.

_ The spiritual armies in their multitudes gather
together with Joseph and Nicodemus and bear
Thee, the Infinite, away into a narrow grave.

Thou, O Jesus, the Fount of Life, by Thy
willing Death, and. Thy burial in the earth, didst
give me life when I was dead in bitter trans-
gression.

All creation was changed by Thy suffering, O
Word, for it suffered all things with Thee, and
Thou didst know the conflicts of all.

σ--

The all-devouring Hades cast forth the Rock of
Life, which it had received within itself, and the
dead which it had swallowed from all ages.

Thou, O Christ, wast laid in the new sepulchre,
and Thou didst renew the nature of mortals by
rising from the dead with divine splendours.

‘Thou didst descend to earth, O Master, in order
to save Adam, and as Thou didst not find him on
earth, Thou didst descend, even to Hades, seeking
him.

All the earth was confounded with fear, and
the morning star hid its rays, when Thou, O Word,
O Greatest Light, wert bidden in the earth.

As mortal, Thou, O Saviour, didst willingly die ;
but as God, Thou didst raise up the dead from
their tombs and from the depths of sin.

Thy pure mother wept bitter tears over Thee,
O Jesus, and she cried: How can I lay Thee, my
Son, in the grave?

Thou hast raised up the mortal sons of Adam,
even as the corn of wheat, which is hidden in the
bosom of the earth and brings forth the full corn
in the ear,

Now hast Thou, as the Sun, been hidden by the
earth and covered up by the night of Death; but
more radiantly do Thou; O Saviour, rise.

Thou hast shewn Thyself, O Saviour, the new

When the spiritual hosts saw Thee, O Saviour,

Thee, O Word, Joseph takes down from the

as God do Thou arise and save all.

Thou, O Saviour, Who wast in Thy birth the
joy of angels, hast become the cause of grief to
them, now that they see Thee in the flesh, dead
and bereft of breath.

That Thou mightest exalt living mortals, Thou

_ Joseph and Nicodemus chant funeral hymns to
Christ, Who is now dead, and the Seraphim join
in that chant.

Thou sinkest beneath the earth, O Saviour, Sun

Thee, disappears in her grief lacking Thy Presence.

Hades shuddered, O Saviour, when he saw
Thee, the Life-giver, despoiling him of his wealth
and raising up those dead from all ages.

The Sun flashes forth radiantly after night is
past, and Thou, Ὁ Word, rising up after Thy
death, shalt flash forth radiantly as from a bridal

The earth receiving Thee, O Fashioner and

HYMNS OF PRAISE. 31

Those who were fed with manna have lifted up
the heel against their Benefactor.

Those who were fed with manna bring to the
Saviour gall mingled w:th vinegar.

O the perversity and hostility to Christ of those
who slew the Prophets !

He who had been instructed betrayed the
Eternal Wisdom, even as might a foolish servant.

The treacherous Judas, who sold the Deliverer,
becomes himself a captive.

According to Solomon, the mouth of the
lawless Hebrews is a deep gulf.

In the crooked paths of the lawless Hebrews
there are traps and snares,

Joseph and Nicodemus tend the Creator in a
way fitting for the dead.

O Life-giving Saviour, glory to Thy might,
which destroyed Hades,

The All-Holy, when she saw Thee laid low,
O Word, wept with a mother’s love.

O my sweet spring-time, my most beloved
Child, whither has Thy beauty sunk down?

Thy all-holy Mother was moved to tears, when
Thou, O Word, didst die,

The women came with ointments, to anoint
Christ the Anointed.
~ By Thy death Thou, O my God, hast with Thy
divine power put Death to death.

The deceiver has been deceived, and he who is
deceived is redeemed by Thy Wisdom, O my God.
The traitor went down into the pit, to the
_ depths of Hades and of corruption.

The ways of the thrice-miserable and perverted
Judas are full of traps and snares.

: O Word, and Son of God, the King of all, all
_ Thy crucifiers perish together.
| All the men of blood perish together, in the pit
of corruption,
O. Son of God, the, King of all, my God and
Fashioner, how hast Thou endured suffering ?
The Mother cried aloud when she saw her Son
hanging on the Tree.
Joseph and Nicodemus together tend the life-
giving Body.
_ The Maiden pierced to the heart, cried out in
her fervent weeping :

O Light of my eyes, my beloved Child, how

art Thou now hidden in the grave?

HYMNS OF PRAISE. 314

Lament not, O Mother, I suffer these things,
that Adam and Eve may be set free.

I glorify, O my Son, Thy deep compassion, on
account of which Thou dost suffer these things.

O merciful Master, Thou wast given to drink
vinegar mingled with gall, and Thou didst destroy
the taste of our first parents.

Thou art led to a scaffold, Who of old covered
Thy people with a pillar of cloud.

The myrrh-bearers came to Thy Tomb, O
Saviour, and to Thee they offered myrrh.

Arise, O Merciful Master, and raise us up from
the chasm of Hades.

Thy Mother, who bore Thee, cries out weeping:
Arise, O Giver of Life.

Hasten, O Word, to arise, and to take away the
sorrows of her, who bore Thee in purity.

The heavenly powers stood amazed with fear
when they beheld Thee dead.

Grant forgiveness of sins to those who with
fear and longing honour Thy Passion.

O strange and awful sight! How can the earth
conceal Thee, O Word of God ?

Joseph fled with Thee of old, O Saviour, and
now another Joseph buries Thee,

Thine all-holy Mother weeps and laments for
Thee, when Thou, O my Saviour, art slain,

Our hearts shudder at the strange and awful
tomb of Thee, the Creator of all.

The myrrh-bearing women came very early in
the morning and sprinkled myrrh upon the tomb.

By Thy Resurrection give peace to Thy Church
and salvation to Thy people.

Glory be...

-O Triune God, Father, Son, and Spirit, have
mercy upon the world,

Now, and for ever . ..

Make us, thy servants, O Virgin, worthy to

And again the first verse,

All generations offer adoration to Thy tomb, O
