Introduction:

Liturgically and musically, the next significant event in the solemn rendition of the Resurrection Hymn, "Lord of all, we bow and praise you. This hymn is unique to the Chaldean rite, and it is accompanied with such rituals as the removal of the altar veil and the incensing of the sanctuary and of the people. The hymn in addressed directly to Jesus Christ, and it states the reason for praising und glorifying him. "For you give man glorious resurrection/ And you are the One who saves his soul" The melodic design here serves the relative semantic significance of the verses: the highest pitch in the melody in reserved for the key phrase "For you give man," and it is arrived by a leap of a perfect fourth (G - C). The hymn is to be sung twice, antiphonally, first by those who are on the bēmā - celebrant, deacon, and servers - and then by the choir and the congregation. The Resurrection Hymn and the ensuing prayer conclude the introductory rites.

Lyrics of the song

"Lord, I have washed and purified my hands,
And walked in procession around your altar."

Lord of all we bow and praise you;

From eternity and for ever. Amen. Lord of all ...
