[Apolytikion of the Resurrection.

Tone 1. *

The Stone having been sealed by the Jews, and the Soldiers guarding Thy spotless Body, Thou, Saviour, didst Arise the third day, giving life to the world.

Prayer of Basil the Great, from the Mesorion.

Priest. O LORD our GOD, Who hast given unto men Thy peace, and didst send down upon Thy Disciples and Apostles the gift of the All-Holy SPIRIT, and of Thy power didst open their lips by tongues of Fire: open also, the lips of us, the sinners, and teach us how to pray, and what to pray for. Govern our life, Thou Who art the calm Haven of the tempesttost, and make known unto us the way wherein we should walk. Renew within us an upright spirit, and let our sliding thoughts be stablished by the directing SPIRIT, that each day being guided by Thy Good SPIRIT to that which is fitting, we may be deemed worthy to perform Thy Commandments, and ever remember Thy Glorious and diligently-desired Presence among men; and let us not be deceived by the perishing delights of this world, but be strengthened that we may attain unto the enjoyment of the treasures which are to come: for Thou art Blessed and Praised in· all Thy Saints, to the ages of the ages.
