If that were the case, then the full prayer would be: Shine, shine, O New Jerusalem, for the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. Dance now and be glad, O Sion, and you too rejoice, pure Mother of God, at the arising of him to whom you gave birth.

anacoreta Junior Member Registered: 03/18/11 Posts: 11 Loc: Portugal	Thank you for your answer "ukrainiancatholic". The song that I heard was Christos Voskrese, Ukrainian hymn, with slavonic words. "Christos voskrese iz mertvykh, Smertiyu smert poprav, E sushchim vo grobekh Zhivot darovav!"

This text is the Paschal Troparion (Theme Song). The translation is: "Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down Death by death, and to those in the tombs bestowing life!"
