The First Antiphon (Taken from Psalms, Chapters 21, 22) God, my God, attend to me! Why have You forsaken me? Refrain: Through the prayers of the Theotokos, O Savior, save us! Why are You so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning? Refrain O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; and by night, but find no rest. Refrain You dwell in the sanctuary, the praise of Israel. Refrain Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. Refrain The Second Antiphon (Taken from Psalms, chapter 73) O God, why have You cast us off forever? Refrain: O Son of God, crucified in the flesh, save us who sing to Thee: Alleluia! Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old! Refrain Remember Mount Zion, where You have dwelt! Refrain God is our King before the ages; He has worked salvation in the midst of the earth. Refrain The Third Antiphon (Taken from Psalms, Chapter 98) The Lord reigns, let the people tremble! Troparion – Tone 1 (The Holy Cross) O Lord, save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance! Grant victories to the Orthodox Christians over their adversaries; and by virtue of Thy Cross,//preserve Thine habitation! The Lord reigns, let the people tremble! He sits enthroned upon the Cherubim; let the earth quake! Troparion – Tone 1 (The Holy Cross) The Lord is great in Zion; He is exalted over all the people. (Ps 98/99:2) Troparion – Tone 1 (The Holy Cross) Bow down in worship to the Lord in His holy court! (Ps 98/99:9) Troparion – Tone 1 (The Holy Cross) Troparion – Tone 1 (The Holy Cross) O Lord, save Your people and bless Your inheritance! Grant victories to the Orthodox Christians over their adversaries; and by virtue of Your Cross,//preserve Your habitation! Kontakion – Tone 4 (The Holy Cross) As Thou wast voluntarily raised upon the Cross for our sake, grant mercy to those who are called by Thy Name, O Christ God; make all Orthodox Christians glad by Thy power, granting them victories over their adversaries//by bestowing on them the invincible trophy, Thy weapon of peace! (Instead of the Trisagion; “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal…we sing:) Before Thy Cross, we bow down in worship, O Master, and Thy holy Resurrection, we glorify!
Prokeimenon - Tone 7 Extol the Lord our God: worship at His footstool for He is holy! (Ps 98:5) verse: The Lord reigns, let the people tremble!

Thou art a mystical Paradise, O Theotokos, who, though untilled, have brought forth Christ; through Him the life-bearing wood of the Cross was planted on earth. Now at its Elevation, as we bow in worship before it, we magnify thee!
