The Lord said: "Father, glorify Thy name." And a voice came from heaven: "And I have glorified, and I will glorify again!" Others said, "The angel spoke to Him." Jesus answered and said, "This voice was not for me, but for you. Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." And this He said, making it clear what kind of death He was to die. The people answered Him, "We have heard from the Law that Christ abides forever; but how then do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?" Jesus said to them, "Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have light, lest darkness overtake you; but he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. As long as you have light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light!"

John 12:28–36a

We also sing: Seeing the Resurrection of Christ:

After Psalm 50

[Glory: Thou art my mighty covering, / the threefold Cross of Christ, / sanctify me by thy power, / that I may worship and glorify thee with faith and love!

And now: we repeat the same.]

Have mercy on me, O God:

Stichera, tone 6

The Cross of Christ, the hope of Christians, / the guide of the erring, / the harbor of those who are carried by the storm, / the victory in battles, the safety of the universe, / the physician of the sick, / the resurrection of the dead, / have mercy on us.

Canon

Canon of St. Cosmas of Maiuma, tone 8; The irmoses of the canon are sung twice, and the troparia are sung on the 12th.

Ode 1

Irmos: Drawing the cross, Moses / directly cut the Red Sea with a rod / for Israel on foot, / and the same sea with a blow across / back for Pharaoh's chariots, / thus depicting an invincible weapon; / therefore let us sing to Christ our God: / for He is glorified.

The image of the most pure suffering Moses / in ancient times manifested in himself, / standing among the consecrated: / taking the form of the Cross, he with outstretched arms / erected the sign of victory, / destroying the power of Amalek the all-destroyer; / therefore let us sing praises to Christ our God, / for He is glorified.
