Tropar of the Resurrection, Tone 8You descended from on high, Merciful One. You accepted the three-day burial to free us from our passions. Lord, our life and Resurrection, Glory to You.
Tropar of the Dormition, Tone 1In giving birth, you preserved your virginity. In falling asleep you did not forsake the world, Birth-Giver of God. You were translated to Life, Mother of Life, and through your prayers you deliver our souls from death.
Tropar of Hieromartyr Gregory, Tone 4By sharing in the ways of the Apostles, you became a successor to their throne. Through the practice of virtue, you found the way to Divine Contemplation, O inspired one of God; by teaching the word of truth without error, you defended the Faith even to the shedding of your blood. Hieromartyr Gregory, entreat Christ God to save our souls.
Kondak to Metropolitan Michael of Kyiv, Tone 4The prophecy of the first called apostle has been fulfilled today: Grace has illumined the hills of Kyiv and the faith is increased. Those who were not a people are now the people of God, a holy nation, a flock of Christ, which you, O Michael, are the first shepherd. And you serve it by bringing baptism, O Hierarch, standing before God, pray that all may be saved.
Kondak of the Resurrection, Tone 8By rising from the tomb, You raised up the dead. Adam is risen and Eve exults in Your Resurrection. The entire world celebrates Your rising from the dead, Greatly Merciful One.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
Kondak of Hierarch Michael, Tone 2You appeared as a second Moses, bringing the vine from Egyptian idolatry into the land of promise. You said of it: Faith shall be established in this land, and fruit to nourish the world shall flourish on the hills of Kyiv, more than on the heights of Lebanon. Having this harvest, we bless you, O Hierarch Michael.
Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Kondak of the Dormition, Tone 2Neither the tomb nor death had power over the Birth-Giver of God; she is ever watchful in her prayers and in her intercession lies un-failing hope. For as the Mother of Life, she has been translated to life by the One Who dwelt within her ever-virginal womb.
Prokimen of the Resurrection, Tone 8 Pray and give glory to the Lord our God.
Verse: In Judah, God is known; His Name is great in Israel.
Prokimen of the Saint, Tone 1My mouth shall speak wisdom and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
Verse: Hear this all nations; give ear, all you who inhabit the earth.
Alleluia Verses in Tone 8Come let us rejoice in the Lord. Let us shout with jubilation to God our Savior.
Let us come before His face with thanksgiving; with psalms let us shout in jubilation to Him.
The mouth of the righteous shall meditate wisdom and his tongue shall speak of judgment.
The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be tripped.
Communion Hymn:Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the Highest.The Righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. They shall not be afraid of any evil report. Alleluia (3X)
