Greek script of the Hymn
«Η ζωή εν τάφω»
Η ζωή εν τάφω κατετέθης, Χριστέ, και Αγγέλων στρατιαί εξεπλήττοντο, συγκατάβασιν δοξάζουσαι την σην.
Η ζωή πώς θνήσκεις; πώς και τάφω οικείς; του θανάτου το βασίλειον λύεις δε και το Άδου τους νεκρούς εξανιστάς.
Μεγαλύνομέν σε, Ιησού Βασιλεύ, και τιμώμεν την ταφήν και τα πάθη σου, δι ών έσωσας ημάς εκ της φθοράς.
Μέτρα γης ο στήσας, εν σμικρώ κατοικείς, Ιησού παμβασιλεύ, τάφω σήμερον, εκ μνημάτων τους θανόντας ανιστών.
Ο Δεσπότης πάντων καθοράται νεκρός και εν μνήματι καινώ κατατίθεται, ο κενώσας τα μνημεία των νεκρών.
Δακρυρρόους θρήνους επί σε η Αγνή, μητρικώς, ω Ιησού, επιρραίνουσα, ανεβόα˙ Πώς κηδεύσω σε, Υιέ;
Προσκυνώ το Πάθος, ανυμνώ την Ταφήν, μεγαλύνω σου το κράτος φιλάνθρωπε, δι ων λέλυμαι παθών φθοροποιών.
Οίμοι φως του Κόσμου! Οίμοι φως το εμόν! Ιησού μου ποθεινότατε έκραζεν, η Παρθένος θρηνωδούσα γοερώς.
Ανυμνούμεν Λόγε, σε τον πάντων Θεόν, συν Πατρί και τω Αγίω σου Πνεύματι και δοξάζομεν την θείαν σου Ταφήν.
Μακαρίζομέν σε, Θεοτόκε αγνή, και τιμώμεν την ταφήν την τριήμερον του Υιού σου και Θεού ημών πιστώς.
English translation
Christ, you, who are Life itself,
were placed in a sepulcher,
and legions of angels were astonished
by your condescendence.
How is it possible for you who is Life itself to die?
To abide in a grave? You,
who has dissolved the rule of Death
and resurrects Hades dead?
The ruler of all is beheld dead;
and in a new sepulcher is placed
he who has emptied all sepulchers of their dead.
Christ, you, who are Life itself,
were placed in a sepulcher,
and through your death you conquered Death
and sprung forth life into the world.
Strangest of paradoxes, and of inexplicable things!
the provider of my breath is carried breathless
by Joseph for burial.
Christ, you, who are Life itself,
were placed in a sepulcher,
and legions of angels were astonished
by your condescendence
Arabic version
يا يسوع الحياة نعظمك

i zoi en tafo: katetethis, christe,
ke anguelon stratie exeplitondo;
singatavassin dhoxazouse tin sin
يا يسوع الحياة في قبر وضعت
فالجنود السماوية إنذهلت
كلها ومجدت تنازلك
المسيح الحياة حين ذاق الممات
أعتق الناس من الموت ولقد منح الان الحياة للجميع
فاض من جنبك كمن نبع واحد
جدول مضاعف منه نستقي
مثمر لنا الحياة الخالدة
نعظمك بإستحقاق يا معطي الحياة
يا من بسط يديه على الصليب
ساحقا قدرة سلطان العدو
نعظمك بإستحقاق يا خالق العالم
فبالامك نلنا كل شفاء
و نجونا كلنا من الفساد
حبة الحنطة المثناة ذات الطبيعتين
زرعت بالعبرات في حضن الارض
وستفرع السرور للجميع
يا مخلصي إن الشمس و القمر أظلما معا
وكعبدين أمينين إلتحفا حلل الليل الدجي الضافية

[@jesusiscomingverysoonsprea6237]

"…Sin, My children, will be a constant problem. Even My most devout followers sin, and sin over and over again. It is a fact. Once Satan was unleashed, sin became widespread. Many are too ashamed to turn to Me. They lower their heads and turn a blind eye when they have behaved badly. Too proud and embarrassed, they continue on as if it will be forgotten about. What they do not understand is that dark attracts dark. So when you sin once, it is much easier to sin again. By blocking your conscience, the cycle then rotates around and around. Then the sinner will make every excuse to ignore the wrongdoing. They will keep falling further downwards in a spiral. This is because they don’t know how to ask for forgiveness. Because they have not understood the importance of humility, they find it impossible to turn to Me. It is not complicated, you know, to ask Me for forgiveness. Never be fearful of Me. I await each of you who has the courage to condemn your own sins. When you get into this habit, some extraordinary Gifts are given to you. After confessing your sins, you will be in a state of grace. Then when you receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist you will feel a surging energy, which will surprise you. Then and only then will you find true peace.
Nothing will faze you. You will be strong, not only in your soul, - your mind will be calmer and more controlled. You will face life with a different and more positive outlook. Who would not want such a life?
Come back, children, to Me, during these times of sorrow in the world. Let Me show you the joy that is yours when you turn to Me.
Remember, I gave up My Life for you once. My Love knows no bounds. I will answer your call. All you have to do is ask.
Your precious loving Saviour

Jesus Christ "

THE LAMENTATIONS
OF GREAT FRIDAY
3. We, O Lord, exalt Thee,
O Christ Jesus, our King,
and we venerate Thy Passion and burial
through which Thou hast brought redemption from our sins.
4. Thou hast set the measures
of the earth, yet this day
in a narrow tomb dost dwell, Jesus, King of all,
Who hast raised those who were dead up from their tombs.

THE LAMENTATIONS
OF GREAT FRIDAY
1. In a grave they laid Thee,
yet, O Christ Thou art Life,
and the armies of the angels beheld amazed,
giving glory that Thou chose to condescend.
2. How, O Life, dost Thou die?
How dost Thou dwell entombed,
Who hast slashed through all the bonds in the realm of death,
and hast raised the dead in Hades from their graves?

5. O mine own Christ Jesus,
Thou art King of the world.
Why hast Thou come down to Hades to seek the dead?
Is it not to set the race of mortals free?
6. He Who is the Master
of creation appears
as a corpse and lies entombed in a fresh-hewn grave,
though He emptied every gravesite of its dead.

[@user-ht4gb2fw4e]

you want it back i think. Constantinople. well' when everyone realizes that Mary, Jesus, and God, are viewed almost identically by Christians and Muslims, maybe this dream you have can be reality. maybe theylle rename the city in honor of Isa=Jesus................the only differance you have with Muslims regarding Jesus, is his relation to God, and the Crucifixion.
