Ode 7. The Youths from Judea.

Initiated into the depth of goodness and compassion of God, you appeared pledging salvation to those who fervently repent and cry out with their whole soul: Blessed is the God of our Fathers.

By your teachings, Chrysostom, you train every mind and in your great compassion heal the sicknesses of souls, and joyfully you chant with those who live well: Blessed is the God of our Fathers.

You were exalted, becoming a chosen, holy, innocent priest of the Most High, resplendently clothing yourself in justice and crying out with joy: Blessed is the God of our Fathers.

Immaculate Virgin, you conceived the God and Lord over all things, who was well pleased to save the race of mortals from the corruption of death. As we fittingly sing his praise we cry: Blessed is the God of our Fathers.
