The Treasury of Good Things and the Resurrection
Treasures of good things have been opened; the kingdom of the heavens was prepared before the ages. The good things that await man are such as eye has not seen, nor ear has heard, nor have they ascended upon the heart of man. These things and such things stand up with the Lord, as Adam, united in Him, stands up, and Eve also stands up with him. Furthermore, many other bodies, having slept by faith from eternity, have risen, proclaiming the three-day resurrection of the Lord.
O faithful ones, let us brightly receive this, let us see it, and let us dance with the angels, celebrating with the incorporeal ones and together honoring the Christ who raised you up from corruption and made you alive. To Him belongs the glory and the power, with His unruled Father and with His all-holy, good, and life-giving Spirit, now and always and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Greek
θησαυροὶ τῶν ἀγαθῶν ἀνεῴχθησαν, ἡ τῶν οὐρανῶν βασιλεία πρὸ αἰώνων ἡτοίμασται· ἃ ὀφθαλμὸς οὐκ οἶδεν, καὶ οὖς οὐκ ἤκουσε, καὶ ἐπὶ καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἀνέβη, ἃ ἀγαθὰ τὸν ἄνθρωπον περιμένουσι. Ταῦτα καὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα τοῦ ∆εσπότου λέγοντος, ἀνίστανται σὺν αὐτῷ ὁ ἐν αὐτῷ ἡνωμένος Ἀδὰμ, καὶ συνανίσταται καὶ ἡ Εὔα· καὶ ἄλλα πολλὰ σώματα πίστει ἀπ' αἰῶνος κεκοιμημένα ἀνέστησαν κηρύττοντα τοῦ ∆εσπότου τριήμερον ἀνάστασιν, ἣν φαιδρῶς, οἱ πιστοὶ, ὑποδεξώμεθα, καὶ ὀψώμεθα, καὶ περιπτυξώμεθα μετὰ ἀγγέλων χορεύοντες, μετὰ τῶν ἀσωμάτων ἑορτάζοντες, ὁμοῦ καὶ συνδοξάζοντες τὸν ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῆς φθορᾶς Χριστὸν ἀναστήσαντα, καὶ ζωοποιήσαντα· ᾧ ἡ δόξα, καὶ τὸ κράτος σὺν τῷ ἀνάρχῳ αὐτοῦ Πατρὶ, καὶ τῷ παναγίῳ καὶ ἀγαθῷ καὶ ζωοποιῷ αὐτοῦ Πνεύματι· νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.
