Ode 8. From flame you made a source.

You were revealed as a second light bearing sun, shedding rays of teachings to the ends of the earth and you diminished the unlit darkness of every sin, blest Father, with the light of repentance.

You have come as a river from a second Eden, surrounded by streams of divine teachings, O God inspired, watering the face of the earth and drowning the cockles of impiety.

Confessing you as truly Mother of God, with faith we cry to the Angel’s Hail; you alone on earth bore joy, O ever blessed Full of grace.

‘From flame you made a source of dew for the Saints and with water you consumed the sacrifice of a righteous man with flame. For you do all things, O Christ, simply by willing them. We highly exalt you to all the ages.’
