Τροπάρια ἐκ τῆς τελετῆς τῆς ὑψωσεως
τοῦ τιμιου καὶ ζωοποιοῦ σταυροῦ

6, 7
Τροπάριον· Ἦχος αʹ
Σῶσον Κύριε τὸν λαόν σου καὶ εὐλόγησον τὴν κληρονομίαν σου, νίκας τοῖς Βασιλεῦσι κατὰ βαρβάρων δωρούμενος καὶ τὸ σὸν φυλάττων διὰ τοῦ Σταυροῦ σου πολίτευμα.

8
Κοντάκιον· Ἦχος Δʹ
Ὁ ὑψωθεὶς ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ ἑκουσίως, τῇ ἐπωνύμῳ σου καινῇ πολιτείᾳ, τοὺς οἰκτιρμούς σου δώρησαι, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός. Εὔφρανον ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου, τοὺς πιστοὺς Βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν, νίκας χορηγῶν αὐτοῖς, κατὰ τῶν πολεμίων· τὴν συμμαχίαν ἔχοιεν τὴν σήν, ὅπλον εἰρήνης ἀήττητον τρόπαιον.

Ποίημα Λέοντος Δεσπότου, Ἦχος βʹ
Δεῦτε πιστοὶ τὸ ζωοποιὸν Ξύλον προσκυνήσωμεν, ἐν ᾧ Χριστὸς ὁ Βασιλεὺς τῆς δόξης ἑκουσίως χεῖρας ἀπλώσας ὕψωσεν ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν ἀρχαίαν μακαριότητα, οὓς πρὶν ὁ ἐχθρός, δι΄ ἡδονῆς συλήσας, ἐξορίστους Θεοῦ πεποίηκε. Δεῦτε πιστοὶ Ξύλον προσκυνήσωμεν, δι’ οὗ ἠξιώθημεν, τῶν ἀοράτων ἐχθρῶν συντρίβειν τὰς κάρας. Δεῦτε πᾶσαι αἱ πατριαὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν τὸν Σταυρὸν τοῦ Κυρίου ὕμνοις τιμήσωμεν. Χαίροις Σταυρὲ τοῦ πεσόντος Ἀδὰμ ἡ τελεία λύτρωσις, ἐν σοὶ οἱ πιστότατοι Βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν καυχῶνται ὡς τῇ σῇ δυνάμει, Ἰσμαηλίτην λαόν, κραταιῶς ὑποτάττοντες. Σὲ νῦν μετὰ φόβου, Χριστιανοὶ ἀσπαζόμενοι, καὶ τὸν ἐν σοὶ προσπαγέντα Θεὸν δοξάζομεν λέγοντες· Κύριε ὁ ἐν αὐτῷ σταυρωθείς, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς ὡς ἀγαθὸς καὶ φιλάνθρωπος.

Hymns from the Ceremony of the Exaltation
of the Precious and Life-giving Cross
6, 7
Troparion, Mode 1
Lord, save your people, and bless your inheritance, granting to the Kings victory over their enemies, and guarding your commonwealth by your Cross.

8
Kontakion, Mode 4
Lifted up on the Cross of your own will, to the new commonwealth that bears your name grant your mercies, Christ God; make our faithful Kings glad by your power, granting them victories over their enemies; may they have your help in battle: a weapon of peace, an invincible trophy.

9
Sticheron by the Emperor Leo. Mode 2.
Come believers, let us worship the Life-giving Cross, on which Christ the King of glory, willingly stretching out his hands, raised us up to our ancient blessedness, whom the enemy of old had defrauded through pleasure and made exiles from God. Come believers, let us worship the Wood, through which we were found worthy to crush the heads of invisible foes. Come all the families of the nations, let us honor in hymns the Cross of the Lord, “Hail, O Cross, the complete redemption of fallen Adam. In you our faithful Kings boast, as by your power they mightily subdue the people of Ishmael. We Christians now greet you with fear, and glorify the God who was nailed to you, as we say, ‘Lord, who was crucified on it, have mercy on us, as you are good and love humankind’.”
