Stichera of the Resurrection
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHHEC #98 (1902) Meter: 8.4.8.4 First Line: When wicked hands had firmly sealed Lyrics:
When wicked hands had firmly sealed
The silent tomb,
Then cam'st Thou forth, O Christ, as from
The Virgin's womb.
Thine Incarnation angels viewed
With wondering gaze;
And soldiers saw the empty tomb
In strange amaze.
Search they in vain, those mysteries lay
In night concealed:
The God-man and His rising were
For ever sealed.
Yet to the humble who by faith
Their Lord adore,
Those mysteries fade before their sight
For evermore.
Grant us who sing those mysteries now
A claim to praise;
And let Thy mercy bless our lives,
Now, and always.

Stichera of the Resurrection
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHHEC #100 (1902) Meter: 8.7.8.7 First Line: Wherefore on the Cross uplifted Lyrics:
Wherefore on the Cross uplifted,
Bore the Lord our anguish sore?
That He might from suffering save us,
By those wounds for evermore.
Wherefore from the grave triumphant,
Came our Lord that radiant day?
That the bondage of corruption
Might for ever yield its sway.
Let the heavens resound with gladness,
Praises ring through all the earth;
Let the nations all before him,
Clap their hands with joyous mirth.
To the Cross that bore our Saviour
Were our sins in mercy bound;
By the death of Him Who loved us,
Life for all mankind is found.
Glory unto God the Father,
Glory unto Christ the Son,
Glory to the Holy Spirit,
Now, and while the ages run.

Apolutikion of the Resurrection
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHHEC #102 (1902) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4 First Line: O come and let us worship Christ Lyrics:
O come and let us worship Christ,--
Ye people bow before Him,
Who from the dead a Victor rose,--
Sing praises and adore Him.
'Alleluia.
The stone was sealed upon the tomb,
And soldiers guard were keeping,
Where in the cold embrace of death
The Christ of God was sleeping.
'Alleluia.
Shone in the east the morning star,
The hills with light were glowing,
The Christ arose, upon the world
His light and life bestowing.
'Alleluia.
Wherefore from highest heaven the powers--
Their songs of victory blending,--
Give glory to our Mighty Lord,
And to His reign unending.
'Alleluia.

Apolutikion of the Resurrection
Stichera Anatolika
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHHEC #104 (1902) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D First Line: Thee, as the evening light declines Lyrics:
Thee, as the evening light declines,
O Christ, unfading light, we praise,
Who, robed in human flesh, appears,
To bless us in the end of days.
Dark hades saw the light arise,
And quick the darkness fled away;
The nations saw Thy waking beams,
When dawned the Resurrection day.
Glory, O Christ, to Thee we give,
The Head of our Salvation Thou;
For death is vanquished by Thy power,
And men are saved from wandering now.
The angel choirs in heaven rejoice,
For messengers of death are spurned;
The fall of Adam Thou hast raised,
And Satan's power is overturned.
We, all unworthy, stand around
Thy life inspiring grave, and raise
To Thy great tenderness of heart,
O Christ our Lord, a hymn of praise;
For thou gav'st welcome to the Cross,
Nor thrust the hand of death away,
That thou, O Lover of our race,
Mightst give the Resurrection day.
Word with the Father in the past,
Word with the Father aye to reign;
Mysterious born, to live and die,
And in His glory rise again.
O God of life to thee we sing,
Saviour of our souls, to Thee
Let hymns from every heart arise,
And everlasting glory be.

Now the Lord from earth ascending,
Seeks the throne of heaven again,
That the Comforter, descending,
Might abide with sinful men.
Clouds His chariots, upwards rising
Bear Him proudly to the skies;

Lift your gates ye powers supernal;
All ye nations come adore;
For the Christ to realms eternal,
Goes to dwell forevermore.

As angel hosts with heavenly songs,
Before Thy throne adore Thee,
So would we Lord, in humbler strains,
Pour out our hearts before Thee.
Forever blessed be Thy name,
Thrice Holy, we revere Thee;--
Shew mercy as Thy people now,
In fear and hope draw near Thee.
Thou from eternal ages, God,
The Heaven of heavens containing;
Thou Christ our Lord, Thou Spirit good,
In Trinity remaining.
Daring like cherubim on high,
Who praising stand around Thee,
We bring the tribute of our hearts,
And with our praise surround Thee.

Our hearts to Heaven upraising,
We, with the angelic host,
Sing praises to the Father,
To Son, and Holy Ghost.

Yet Maker Thou of all,
Our lips proclaim Thy praises,
As at Thy feet we fall.
All Holy, Holy, Holy,
Eternal God art Thou,--
Hear us in prayer before Thee,
And send Thy mercy now.
In slumber Thou hast kept us,
And now, with morning light,
Our hearts and minds awaken,
And give them morn for night.
And we shall give Thee praises
Blest Trinity adored;
For Holy, Holy, Holy,
Art Thou Eternal Lord.

This is the time of song,
The hour when prayer is made,
And fervently we cry to Thee

God of Hosts to Whom we bow.
Even as the Heavenly hosts,--
But with unworthy lips,--
Eternal Trinity most strong,
To Thee we raise victorious song,
And falling down before Thee now,
Sing Holy, Holy, Holy Thou.
Thou Who wast born on earth,
But still with God remained,
Accept us Christ our God we pray,
As with angelic hosts we say,
Holy, Holy, Holy Thou,
With Thy mercy bless us now.
