**Christ is Risen, brothers and sisters! Truly He is Risen!**

> Rejoice and sing, my soul,  
> Heiress of the heavens:  
> Christ is risen,  
> Your Saviour is truly risen!

*Literal translation*

> Yes! Hell has grown faint before the Mighty One:  
> From the fetters of the tomb,  
> From the night of death, God raised His Son  
> And raised you with Him.

*Literal translation*

> From eternal light  
> The Lord descended into the dwelling of darkness,  
> Was clothed in dust, put on flesh,  
> That we might not perish!

*Literal translation*

> Ineffable love,  
> Height of all mysteries!  
> For us His holy Blood  
> He shed from the cross.

*Literal translation*

> With His most pure Blood  
> He redeemed us, the fallen,  
> From torments and the grave, from the snares  
> And the power of the dark forces.

*Literal translation*

> Christ is risen, my Saviour,  
> Truly He is risen.  
> Rejoice, soul; before you He  
> Has opened the gates of heaven!

*Literal translation*
