Ode 4. Christ is my power.

The power of your words, blessed Father, has run through all the world, dispelling the blindness of souls by its elevating light.

Noble revealer of God, blamelessly you accomplished your life, cleansing yourself by your tears and by wise words setting forth for all the coming of the Judge.

The Lord, seeing the glorious height of your elevating humility, gave you the grace of words, through which the dread risings of heresies have been humbled.

Strengthened by the grace of the Almighty you went out to battle against the demons powers and conquered, as you intercede for us who fervently sing your praise.

As a sacred enclosure, as a holy mountain, as a source of incorruption, as the alone chosen for God our creator, let us call the Virgin blessed.
