Finding Ancient/Byzantine Greek texts used by choirs from Mount Athos
score:3
I heard the Mount Athos chants recently as well. I'm not familiar with the Greek Orthodox liturgy at all, nor the Greek language, so I'm also having a terribly hard time trying to find reference for the lyrics. This won't be a very satisfying answer, but I thought I would just share the info I found so far.
From what I can gather, the first video you linked is a Τροπάριο (short hymn?) which is called Ανοιξαντάρια. The Greek wikipedia entry for Τροπάριο contains a reference to that specific chant, giving the first four words: "Ανοίξαντός σου την χείρα" (open your hand). I found various lyrics for this chant online, but they don't seem to match up very well with the video you linked. (I don't understand Greek though, so I could be wrong). The only other phrase I could catch being sung was "Δόξα Σοι ο Θεός Αλληλούια" (Thanks/Glory be to God, hallelujah) in various parts, like at the very end (timestamp 6:12).
The second video you linked contains chants for Holy Saturday, (the day before Easter). The first is "Holy Saturday Apolitikia", "Apolitikia" (Ἀπολυτίκιον) being the chant sung at dismissal. I could find at least the beginning of the lyrics here:
Ο ευσχήμων Ιωσήφ, από του ξύλου καθελών, το άχραντόν σου σώμα, σινδόνι καθαρά ειλήσας και αρώμασιν, εν μνήματι καινώ κηδεύσας επέθετο.
Good luck finding the texts. I think it would be easier for someone to find the lyrics who is familiar with the Greek Orthodox Liturgy. If you or anyone else finds more information, I'd love to hear about it.
