Sung at the Small Entrance
Ευλογημένος ο ερχόμενος εν ονόματι Κυρίου, Θεός Κύριος καί επέφανεν ημίν, Σώσον ημας, Υιέ Θεού, ο επί πώλου όνου καθεσθείς, ψάλλοντας σοί, Αλληλούια.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, God is the Lord and has revealed himself to us, Save us, O Son of God who was seated upon a colt, to You we sing: Alleluia.


Apolytikion for Palm Sunday
Τήν κοινήν Ανάστασιν προ του πάθους πιστούμενος, εκ νεκρών ήγειρας τον Λάζαρον, Χριστέ ο Θεός, όθεν καί ημείς ως οι Παίδες, τα της νίκης σύμβολα φέροντες, σοι τω Νικητή του θανάτου βοώμεν. Ωσαννά εν τοίς υψίστοις, ευλογημένος ο ερχόμενος, εν ονόματι Κυρίου.

Before the passion you confirmed the resurrection of all, by raising Lazarus from the dead O Christ our God. Therefore like the children of old we also carry symbols of victory, and to you, the victor over death we do cry out: Hosanna in the highest, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.


Hymn for Palm Sunday (4th tone)
Συνταφέντες σοι δια του Βαπτίσμοτος Χριστέ ο Θεός ημών, της αθανάτου ζωής ηξιώθημεν τη Αναστάσει σου, καί ανυμνούντες κράζομεν, Ωσαννά εν τοίς υψίστοις, ευλογημένος ο ερχόμενος, εν ονόματι Κυρίου.

Having been buried with you through baptism O Christ our God, we were found worthy of immortal life through your Resurrection, and singing your praises we cry out: Hosanna in the highest; blessed is He that comes, in the name of the Lord.


Kontakion
