Hymn


V

erily, Christ is the life descending upon the world,
Enduring the bitter fall of death,
In the act of death, by the use of compassion,
Granting life.

H

e raised the wound, removing death;
Destroying the author of death, He arises;
Seeking the right hand of the Father, He reigns
Upon the celestial throne.

F

ollowing Him, the first minister Stephen,
Adorned with the title of the lot he received,
Bestowed kindly by the breath of the Lord,
The Holy Spirit to him.

H

e walks, bound by the example of the Lord,
Covered by false witnesses, innocent,
Bearing the wicked words of the judges,
Saint of the infamous.

W

ith heavenly speech he refutes the malicious,
And proves consistently, with reasoning, the false,
Forever unworthy to believe in the Lord of the heavens,
Those unwilling.

S

toned with a rocky storm; Paul advances,
The foremost protector of those who cast stones,
Preserving garments to render them unto the blow,
Bloody with fatal strike.

H

e endures the profane rage of death,
Full of all compassion in his heart,
He seeks forgiveness from his enemies, mercifully,
With a grateful heart.

H

e baptizes first, blessed martyr,
Directs men with a righteous heart,
Laying down limbs slain by the spears
In the faith of Christ.

W

e beseech you, weeping, bless the first martyr,
And join in the company of righteous citizens,
Heir of the bright celestial realm,
Renowned and illustrious.

S

wiftly forgive our wrongdoing:
Take away weariness, grant salvation;
Strike down the enemy, alleviate sorrow,
With death overcome.

L

et the choir sing glory and resound:
Let them speak, sing, and revolve in glory:
To the threefold Name of the Divine Deity,
Let the stars proclaim.

℟.

Amen.
