SUNDAY AFTER THEOPHANY

Transcription

1 CHRIST IS BAPTIZED! Õðèñòîñ Õðåñòèòüñÿ! IN THE RIVER JORDAN! Ó Ð³ ö³ Éîðäàí! SUNDAY AFTER THEOPHANY FIRST ANTIPHON: When Israel came forth from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of alien tongue. Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Saviour save us. Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His domain. Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Saviour save us. The sea beheld and fled, Jordan turned back. Through the prayers... Why is it, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn your back? Through the prayers... Glory be to the Father...(P. 23 of Liturgy books) THIRD ANTIPHON: Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord, let us acclaim God, our Savior. Son of God, baptized by John in the Jordan, save us who sing to You: Alleluia! Let us come before His face with praise, and acclaim Him in psalms. Son of God, baptized... For God is the great Lord and the great king over all the earth. Son of God, baptized... ENTRANCE: Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ. Son of God, baptized by John in the Jordan, save us who sing to You: Alleluia! TROPAR (Tone 6): Angelic powers were upon Your tomb and the guards became like dead men; Mary stood before Your tomb seeking Your most pure body. You captured Hades without being overcome by it. You met the Virgin and granted life. O Lord, risen from the dead glory be to You THEOPHANY FEAST (Tropar (Tone 1): At Your baptism in the Jordan, O Lord, worship of the Trinity was revealed; for the Father s voice bore witness to You, calling You His beloved Son, and the Spirit in the form of a dove confirmed the truth of these words. O Christ God, who appeared and enlightened the world, glory be to You! Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and for ever and ever, Amen. KONDAK (Tone 4): Today You have revealed Yourself to the universe, and Your light, O Lord, has shone upon us who spiritually sing to You: You have come and revealed Yourself, O Inaccessible Light. PROKIMEN (Tone 1): Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in You. VERSE: Rejoice in the Lord, O you just; praise befits the righteous EPISTLE: Letter from St. Paul to the Ephesians 4:7-13 ALLELUIA: God gives me vindication, and has subdued peoples under me. Making great the salvation of the king, and showing mercy to His anointed, David, and to His posterity for ever. GOSPEL: Matthew 4:12-17 HYMN to MOTHER OF GOD: O my soul, glorify Christ the King baptized in the River Jordan. No tongue has the power to fittingly extol you; and even a supernatural mind is powerless to glorify you, O Mother of God. But in your graciousness, accept our faith because you know our holy ambition; for you are the protectress of Christians, and we extol you.

2 COMMUNION HYMN: The grace of God has appeared, offering salvation to all men. Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the highest. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! INSTEAD OF "Blessed is He who comes... All creation is filled with rejoicing today, for Christ is baptized in the Jordan. INSTEAD OF We have seen the true light... All creation is filled with rejoicing today, for Christ is baptized in the Jordan. INSTEAD OF May our mouths... and Blessed be the Name...
