When You went down to death, O Life Immortal,*
You struck Hades dead with the blazing light of Your divinity.*
When You raised the dead from the nether world,*
all the powers of heaven cried out:*
“O Giver of life, Christ our God, glory be to You!”

you stood in the midst of a devouring fire and called upon God, saying,*
“Hasten, O merciful One, and speed to our help,*
for You are good and have power to do whatever you desire.”
