The Sunday of All Saints of
Beatitude Verses: Octoechos: 6;
All Saints of
1. Through food did
the enemy lead Adam forth from paradise; but by the Cross hath
Christ led back to it the thief who cried: Remember me when Thou comest in Thy
kingdom!
2. With Adam and the
thief I worship Thy sufferings and glorify Thy resurrection; and I
cry out with a splendid voice: Remember me, O Lord, when Thou comest in Thy
kingdom!
3. O Sinless One, of
Thine own will Thou wast crucified and placed in the Tomb, yet
Thou didst arise as God, raising up with Thyself Adam who
crieth out: Remember me
when Thou comest in Thy kingdom!
4. Raising up the
temple of Thy body by Thy resurrection on the third day, O Christ God,
Thou didst raise up Adam and his descendants who cry:
Remember me when Thou
comest in Thy kingdom!
5. Very early, the
myrrh-bearing women arrived, weeping, at Thy tomb, O Christ God;
and they found an angel sitting
there, clad in white garments, who said: What seek ye?
Christ is risen! Lament no longer!
6. When Thine
apostles went to the mountain whither Thou hadst commanded them to
go, and saw Thee, O Savior, they
worshipped Thee; and Thou didst send them unto the
nations, to teach and baptize them.
7. We have not
inherited our land through the sword, but through Thy right hand, and
Thine upraised arm, and the light of Thy countenance; and
by the tears of Thy saints,
their struggles and sweat, their blood
and teaching, is our homeland firmly established.
8. When we turned
away from Thee and did not do Thy commandments, then didst Thou
thrust us aside and cast us down; and
we have become the least among all the nations.
But take pity on us, O God our Savior, through the
entreaties of the saints.
9. O all-blessed Trinity, return us from exile; heal our
sickness and our sorrow; and lift
our spirit from slothfulness and the
sleep of sin, that we may be worthy of our fathers and
brethren who by their struggles glorified
Thy name in our land.
10. Gather in the
dispersed, return those who have been cut off, bring back again them
that have fallen away from the
Orthodox Faith, comfort the weeping and sorrowful, and
heal the dissolution of our tormented
land, O thou who art full of grace, entreating God in
our behalf with the saints who are
our compatriots.
