Let my prayer arise in thy sight as incense,
and let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice.
Let my prayer arise in the sight as incense,
and let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice.
Lord, I have called to thee, hear me!
Attend to the voice of my prayer when I call to thee!
Set a guard over my mouth, keep watch over the door around my lips!
Incline not my heart to words of evil, to invent excuses for my sins.
Let my prayer arise in thy sight as incense,
and let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrife.
Xristos Anesth!
Χριστὸς ἀνέστη ἐκ νεκρῶν,
θανάτῳ θάνατον πατήσας,
καὶ τοῖς ἐν τοῖς μνήμασι,
ζωὴν χαρισάμενος!
Xristos anesti ek nekron,
thanato thanaton patisas,
ke tis en tis mnimasin,
zoin xarisamenos!
Christ is risen! - Byzantine Chant
Christ is risen from the dead,
Trampling down death by death,
And upon those in the tombs
Bestowing life!
