Lazarus Saturday & Palm Sunday Troparion



English Text:

O Christ our God,
when Thou didst raise Lazarus from the dead, before Thy Passion,
thou didst confirm the resurrection of the universe.
Wherefore, we, like children,
carry the banner of triumph and victory,
and we cry to Thee, O Conqueror of death,
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he that cometh in the Name of the Lord.

Nyne Otpushchaeshi Raba Tvoego Vladyko (Nunc Dimittis) (Russia)





NYNE OTPUSHCHAYESHI RABA TVOEGO, VLADYKO

Nyne Otpushchaeshi raba Tvoego, Vladyko,
po glagolu Tvoyemu s mirom:
yako videsta ochi moi spaseniye Tvoye,
ezhe esi ugotoval pred litsem vsekh lyudei,
svet vo otkrovenie yazykov, i slavu lyudei Tvoikh Izrailya.

English Translation (Book of Common Prayer, 1662):
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles and to be the glory of thy people Israel.

Taken from Sergei Rachmaninoff's All Night Vigil
