Into the dim earth’s lowest parts
descending,
And bursting by Thy might
the infernal chain
That bound the prisoners,
Thou, at three days’ ending,
As Jonah from the whale,
hast risen again.
Thou brakest not the seal,
Thy surety’s token,
Arising from the tomb
Who left’st in birth
The portals of virginity unbroken,
Opening the gates of Heaven
to sons of earth.
Thou, Sacrifice ineffable and living,
Didst to the Father by Thyself atone
As God eternal: resurrection giving
To Adam, general parent, by Thine own.
