Great Lent & Pascha

Lord of the Powers

Lord of the Powers is sung in Great Compline.

Lord of the powers, 

be with us, 

for in times of distress, 

we have no other help but you. 

Lord, of the powers, 

have mercy on us.

Listen 

Save, O Lord, Your people

The 3rd Sunday of Lent is the Sunday of the Holy Cross.  This is the apolytikion of the feast, also sung on Sept. 14.  This apolytikion is found near the beginning of Matins and sung at the Little Entrance during Liturgy.

Save, O Lord, Your people 

and bless Your inheritance,

granting victory to the faithful

over the enemy, 

and by Your Cross protecting 

Your commonwealth.

Christ is Risen

Christ is risen from the dead

by death trampling down upon 

death

and to those in the tombs

He has granted life.
