Original text and translations

Church Slavonic text

Воскресение Христово видевше,
поклонимся Святому Господу Иису,
Единому безгрешному.
Кресту Твоему покланяемся, Христе,
и святое воскресение Твое поем и славим:
Ты бо еси Бог наш, разве Тебе иного не знаем,
Имя Твое именуем.
Приидуте, вси вернии,
Поклонимся Святому Христову воскресению:
се бо прирде крестом падость всему миру, радость;
всегда благословяще Господа.
поем воскресение Его: распятие бо претернев,
смертию смерть pазpуши.

English translation

Having beheld the resurrection of Christ,
we worship the holy Lord Jesus,
like us but sinless.
We worship your cross, Christ,
and your holy resurrection we sing and glorify:
You are our God, even if we don’t know
how to name Your name.
Come, you faithful,
bow to the holy resurrection:
through the cross has come joy to the whole world;
bless the Lord always!
Sing His resurrection, He endured crucifixion,
died to destroy death.
