Troparion - Tone 1
By raising Lazarus from the dead before Your passion,
You did confirm the universal Resurrection, O Christ God!
Like the children with the palms of victory,
We cry out to You, O Vanquisher of death; Hosanna in the Highest!
Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord!
Troparion - Tone 4
When we were buried with You in Baptism, O Christ God,
We were made worthy of eternal life by Your Resurrection!
Now we praise You and sing: Hosanna in the highest!
Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord!
