Stanzas on "Lord, I have cried" 1. "Accept, O Holy Lord, our evening prayers and grant us the forgiveness of sins, for Thou alone hast revealed the resurrection to the world." 2. "Go around, O people, around Zion and go around it, and in it give glory to Him who has risen from the dead, for He is our God, who has delivered us from our iniquities." (Psalm 47:13). 3. "Come, O people, let us sing and worship Christ, glorifying His resurrection from the dead, for He is our God, Who has redeemed the world from the deception of the enemy." 4. "Let us voluntarily glorify in the flesh Him Crucified for us, Who suffered, Who was buried, and Who rose from the dead, and let us exclaim: 'Establish Thy Church in Orthodoxy, O Christ, and restore peace in our lives as the Good and Lover of mankind.'

Glory even now: O Theotokos. Dogmatist: "Let us sing the Glory of the whole world, which proceeded from people and gave birth to the Lord, the Virgin Mary, the heavenly door, the song of the bodiless Powers and the adornment of the faithful. She was heaven and the temple of the Godhead; She, having broken down the hostile barrier, established peace and opened the kingdom, therefore, having Her as the support of our faith, we have a Defender, the Lord born of Her. Be of good cheer, be of good cheer, people of God, for He will conquer the enemies as the Almighty."
