SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1

TONE 6
23rd Sunday after Pentecost (11th of Luke)
Prophet Nahum

"Lord I Call..." Tone 6

Lord, I call upon Thee, hear me!


Hear me, O Lord!
Lord, I call upon Thee, hear me!
Receive the voice of my prayer,
when I call upon Thee!//
Hear me, O Lord!

Let my prayer arise


in Thy sight as incense,
and let the lifting up of my hands
be an evening sacrifice!//
Hear me, O Lord!

V. (10) Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to


Thy Name.

Tone 6 (for the Resurrection)

Possessing victory over hell, O Christ,


since Thou art free among the dead,
Thou didst ascend the Cross
raising with Thyself those who sat in the shades of death.//
Drawing life from Thy light, O almighty Savior, have mercy on us!

V. (9) The righteous will surround me, for Thou wilt deal
bountifully with me.

Today Christ tramples on death,


for He is risen as He said!
Let us all sing this song,
for He has granted joy to the world:
O Light unapproachable, O Fountain of life!//
O Savior almighty, have mercy on us!

1
V. (8) Out of the depths I cry to Thee, O Lord. Lord, hear my
voice!

Where shall we sinners flee from Thee, Who art in all creation?
In heaven Thou dwellest!
In hell Thou didst trample on death!
In the depths of the sea?
Even there is Thy hand, O Master!
To Thee we flee, and falling before Thee, we pray://
O Thou Who didst rise from the dead, have mercy on us!

V. (7) Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my


supplications!

(Resurrection stichera by Anatolius)

In Thy Cross, we glory, O Christ.


We sing and glorify Thy Resurrection.
For Thou art our God,//
and we know no other than Thee.

V. (6) If Thou, O Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, Lord, who could


stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee.

We will always bless the Lord


by singing of His Resurrection!
For He endured the Cross,//
trampling down death by death.

V. (5) For Thy Name’s sake I wait for Thee, O Lord. My soul has
waited for Thy word; my soul has hoped on the Lord.

Glory to Thy might, O Lord,


for Thou didst overthrow the prince of death,
by Thy Cross renewing us,//
granting us life and incorruption.

V. (4) From the morning watch until night, from the morning
watch, let Israel hope on the Lord!

Thy burial destroyed the bonds of hell, O Lord.


Thy Resurrection from the dead enlightened the world.//

2
O Lord, glory to Thee!

V. (3) For with the Lord there is mercy and with Him is plenteous
redemption, and He will deliver Israel from all his iniquities.

Tone 3 (for Prophet Nahum)

The grace of the Holy Spirit


dwelt within thee, O Prophet of God,
making thee a radiantly shining beacon with its light.//
Through thee, He preached to Nineveh the great things that were to
come!

V. (2) Praise the Lord, all nations! Praise Him, all peoples!

O Nahum, thou wast revealed to be a light-bearing cloud,


letting fall a shower of divine knowledge.
O Prophet of God, thou didst give the city of Nineveh the judgment of
God to drink,//
for it was sick with impiety.

V. (1) For His mercy is confirmed on us, and the truth of the Lord
endures forever.

Thou wast a partaker of incorruptible glory and ineffable renown,


unutterable joy and divine sweetness.
O divinely inspired Nahum, Prophet of God,//
pray for us to the Master of all!

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Tone 6 (Theotokion – Dogmatikon)

Who will not bless thee, O most holy Virgin?


Who will not sing of thy most pure childbearing?
The only-begotten Son shone timelessly from the Father,
but from thee He was ineffably incarnate.
God by nature, yet Man for our sake,
not two persons, but one known in two natures.
Entreat Him, O pure and all-blessed Lady,//
to have mercy on our souls!

Aposticha

Tone 6 (for the Resurrection)

Thy Resurrection, O Christ our Savior,


the Angels in heaven sing!
Enable us on earth//
to glorify Thee in purity of heart!

V. The Lord is King; He is robed in majesty!

Destroying the gates of hell,


breaking the chains of death,
Thou didst resurrect the fallen human race as almighty God!//
O Lord Who didst rise from the dead, glory to thee!

V. For He has established the world, so that it shall never be


moved.

Desiring to return us to Paradise,


Christ was nailed to the Cross and placed in a tomb.
The Myrrhbearing Women sought Him with tears, crying,
“Woe to us, O Savior!
How dost Thou deign to descend to death?
What place can hold Thy life bearing body?
Come to us as Thou didst promise!
Take away our wailing and tears!”
Then the Angel appeared to them:
“Stop your lamentations!
Go, proclaim to the Apostles:
‘The Lord is risen,//
granting us purification and great mercy!’”

V. Holiness befits Thy house, O Lord, forevermore!

Having been crucified as Thou didst will,


by Thy burial Thou didst capture death, O Christ,
rising on the third day as God in glory,//
granting the world unending life and great mercy!

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;

5
now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Tone 6 (Theotokion)

My Maker and Redeemer, Christ the Lord,


was born of thee, O most pure Virgin.
By accepting my nature, He freed Adam from his ancient curse.
Unceasingly we magnify thee as the Mother of God!
Rejoice, O celestial Joy!
Rejoice, O Lady://
the Protection, Intercession and Salvation of our souls!

glory to Thee.
