| Exult, ye Gentiles! mourn, ye Hebrews! CHRIST, Giver of Life, hath burst The fetters of the Tomb: And raised the dead again, and healed the sick. This is our GOD, Who giveth health To every soul believing on His Name. | | 31a Marvel of marvels! Thou, O LORD, didst turn The water into wine, As once Thou spak’st the word To Egypt’s river, and forthwith ‘twas blood. All praise to Thee, O LORD, Who now By laying down Thy glory, man renew’st! | | O overflowing stream of truest life, Our Resurrection, LORD! Thou for our sakes didst toil, Thou for our sakes—so Nature willed—didst thirst: And resting Thee by Sichar’s well, Of the Samaritan didst seek to drink. | | Thou blessest bread, Thou multipliest fish, Incomprehensible! Thou freely feed’st the crowd, And givest Wisdom’s spring to thirsting men. Thou art our SAVIOUR, O our GOD! Giver of Life to them that trust in Thee! | | Three co-eternal, co-enthroned, I laud: The unbegotten SIRE, And Co-existant SON, And SPIRIT, co-eternal with the Twain: Tri-hypostatic Essence! One In might and majesty and Godhead sole. | | Mother of GOD! Thou only didst contain The Uncontainable; And brought’st the Infant forth, Ineffable in Thy Virginity. Hence without ceasing, O most pure, Vouchsafe to call down blessing on Thy flock! | | Thou turned’st the sea to land, when Thou didst whelm Pharoah and all his host, His chariot and his horse: And ledd’st Thy people to the Holy Mount. Sing we, said they, to Thee our GOD, Mighty in War, this Ode of Victory! | |
