O Lord, Your voice destroyed the kingdom of Hades, and the word of Your authority raised up a man four-days-dead from the tomb. And Lazarus became a foretaste of regeneration and salvation, for all things are possible for You, O Master and King of All. Grant your servants forgiveness of sins and great mercy.
-from the Vespers Stichera for the Raising of Lazarus, written by Leo the King
