Ode 8. The Irmos.
Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash
‘United in the unquenchable fire, the Young Men, champions of piety, yet unharmed by the flame, raised their hymn to God, ‘Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord, and praise and exalt him to all the ages.’’ [70]
People of Israel, as you see your glory, [71] Emmanuel, a child from a Virgin, now dance before the Ark of God [72] and sing, ‘Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord, and praise and exalt him to all the ages.’
‘See,’ cried Symeon, ‘he will be the sign that will be contradicted, [73] for he is God and a little child.’ To him let us sing with faith, ‘Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord, and praise and exalt him to all the ages.’
He that is life, God the Word become a babe, will be the fall of the disobedient, but resurrection for those who sing with faith, [74] ‘Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord, and praise and exalt him to all the ages.’
