Original Language: Old Church Slavonic

Да воскреснет Бог и рассея́тся врази́ Его, и да бе́жат от лица́ Его ненави́дящие Его. Я́ко исче́зает дым да исче́знут, я́ко та́ет во́ск от лица́ о́гня, та́ко да поги́бнут бе́си от лица́ любя́щих Бо́га и зна́менующихся крестны́м зна́мением и весе́лием глаго́лющих: Ра́дуйся, Прече́стный и Животворя́щий Кре́сте Госпо́ден!

Transliteration

Da voskresnet Bog i rasseyátsya vrazí Ego, i da bezhát ot litsá Ego nenavídyashchiye Ego. Yáko ischézayet dym da ischéznut, yáko táyet vósk ot litsá ógnya, táko da pogíbnut bési ot litsá lyubyáshchikh Bóga i známenuyushchikhsya kréstnym známeniyem i veselíyem glagólyushchikh: Ráduysya, Prechéstny i Zhivotvoryáshchiy Kréste Gospóden!

Translation

Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee from before His face. As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish; as wax melts before the fire, so let the demons perish from before those who love God and who sign themselves with the Sign of the Cross, and in gladness say: Rejoice, most precious and life-giving Cross of the Lord!

Ideal for baptisms, chrismations, new converts or lifelong Orthodox - and always a meaningful gift
