Him with the sound of the trumpet; praise Him with lute and harp. Father Anthony, Thou shut Thyself in the tomb for the sake of Life with God, and were not at all afraid of attacks by the evil one, nor of his beatings and noises that he made; for Thou destroyed them completely with Thy Prayers. Steadfast in Soul were Thou, First Ascetic of the Desert. Therefore, now we rightly call Thee Blessed and honour Thee. Him with timbrel and dance; praise Him with strings and flute. have come in Faith, O Anthony, to render honour to Thee, the Ascetic of Christ our God; for Thou joyfully sojourned in the Desert for many years. And clearly Thou were the greatest Teacher there. And for this reason we rightly cry to Thee: O Thou All Blessed One, art the Pride and Joy of every Monk and Nun. Therefore pray to Christ our Saviour, to Save our souls. Him with tuneful cymbals; praise Him with loud cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
