shadowy mountain.

When night passed, day broke,
and light shone upon the
world. Wherefore the Ranks of
Angels praise Thee, O Christ
God, and glorify Thee.
ODE 6
I am encompassed in the deep of

the tempest of this life. But as
Thou raised Jonah from the
belly of the whale, so draw me
out of passion, and Save me.

we earthborn praise in
Doxology the One now Raised,
Who destroyed the deadly
power of our foe. Thou hast
Resurrected everyone – all
those who believe in Thee;
Thou hast rescued the world
from the serpent’s fangs, and
have snatched us from allure
to the hostile one – as alone
Thou is able to do. Hence, we
piously sing the praises of Thy
Rising by which Thou Saved us,
as the GOD OF ALL THINGS.
rebelled senselessly against Thy
Fatherly Glory; I have sinfully
squandered all the wealth Thy
granted me. Hence to Thee,
using the Prodigal’s words, I
cry out: I have sinned before
Thee, O Merciful Loving Father!
O, receive me in Repentance, I
pray, and TREAT ME AS ONE
OF THY HIRED HANDS.
Since our Saviour teaches us each
day by His familiar Voice, let
us listen to the Scriptures
concerning the Son who
became Prodigal and then
returned to his senses, and in
Faith let us emulate his Good
Repentance. With a humble
heart, let us cry out to God
Who observes all that is
hidden: “We have sinned
against Thee, O Tender-Loving
Father, and we are no longer
worthy to be called Thy
Children as before! But
inasmuch as Thou Love
humanity, receive me, I pray,
AND TREAT ME AS ONE OF
THY HIRED HANDS!
