HIDE TROPARIA

Troparion of the Sunday, Tone I —
When the stone had been sealed by the Jews; / while the soldiers were guarding Thy most pure Body; / Thou didst rise on the third day, O Savior, / granting life to the world. / The powers of heaven therefore cried to Thee, O Giver of Life: / Glory to Thy Resurrection, O Christ! / Glory to Thy Kingdom! / Glory to Thy dispensation, O Thou Who lovest mankind.

Hymn to the Theotokos, Tone I —
When Gabriel announced to Thee, O Virgin, “Rejoice!” / with that word the Master of all was incarnate in Thee, O Holy Ark. / As the righteous David said, / Thy womb became more spacious than the heavens, bearing Thy Creator. / Glory to Him Who took abode in Thee! / Glory to Him Who came from Thee! / Glory to Him Who freed us by being born of Thee!

Kontakion of the Sunday, Tone I —
As God, Thou didst rise from the tomb in glory, / raising the world with Thyself. / Human nature praises Thee as God, for death has vanished! / Adam exults, O Master! / Eve rejoices, for she is freed from bondage, and cries to Thee: / Thou art the Giver of Resurrection to all, O Christ!

Holy Martyr Gordius, Troparion, Tone IV —
In his suffering, O Lord,/ Thy martyr Gordius received an imperishable crown from Thee our God;/ for, possessed of Thy might,/ he set at nought the tormentors and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons.// By his supplications save Thou our souls.

Forefeast of the Theophany, Troparion, Tone IV —
Make ready, O Zebulon!/ Adorn thyself, O Nephthali!/ O River Jordan, leaping up,/ receive thou the Master Who cometh to be Baptized!/ Rejoice, O Adam, with our first mother!/ Hide not yourselves as ye did before in paradise;/ for He that beheld you naked hath appeared,/ that He may clothe you in your primal raiment.// Christ hath appeared, desiring to make all creation new!

Kontakion of the Prophet Malachias, Tone IV, "Thou hast appeared" —
Enriched by the gift of prophecy, O prophet,/ thou didst manifestly proclaim salvation to the world and the advent of Christ,// by Whose radiance the world hath been illumined.

Kontakion of the Martyr, Tone VIII, "As firstfruits" —
The drops of thy sweat have watered the whole earth, O all-glorious Gordius,/ and thou hast gladdened the whole world with thy precious blood./ By thy sup­plications, O divinely wise one, save all who hymn and bless thee with faith,// crying out a worthy hymn to thee, O most lauded one, as a great athlete.

Kontakion of the Forefeast, Tone IV, "Thou hast appeared today" —
In the streams of the Jordan the Lord crieth out to John today:/ Fear not to baptize Me,// for I have come to save Adam the first-created!
