Today a grave holds him
who holds creation in the palm of his hand.
A stone covers him
who covers with glory the heavens.
Life is asleep and hell trembles,
and Adam is freed from his chains.

Glory to your saving work,
by which you have done all things!
You have given us eternal rest,
your holy resurrection from the dead.


From a matins hymn for Holy Saturday, quoted in Orthodox Lent, Holy Week, and Easter: Liturgical Texts with Commentary by Hugh Wybrew (London: SPCK, 1995).
