Ode 7.

Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

By inspiration you appeared wholly God’s, wholly able to contain God; for you abandoned all the world for God, All-glorious, following in the footsteps of the Saviour, in a manner fitting God honouring the God of the fathers.

¶2

Beyond nature, All-noble Physicians, you heal all the maladies of the infirm by mystical surgery, drawing saving remedies from the divine treasuries, as you hymn the God, who is glorified above all.

¶3

With a garland of your kingdom, Master, and a shining diadem you have fairly adorned the ones who greatly longed for the extraordinary loveliness of your beauty, O Christ, and have declared them to be general benefactors for believers.

¶4

When the Dayspring from on high appeared on earth, All-pure, you were revealed to be a gate, most fair and wholly light, shining on the world with rays of purity and ever sending out the lustre of wonders to believers.
