AT MATINS
Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash
Ode 1. Irmos. Let us sing to the Lord.**
**Canon. Tone 8.
Made a disciple by the empersonned Word, the Apostle scattered the wisdom of the world like a spider’s web.
You were initiated into things that cannot be uttered and made worthy of the ineffable mysteries of Christ, as his disciple and Apostle.
You appeared as a great sun, companion of the great light who came to be with us, praiseworthy, glorious Apostle.
Immaculate Mother of God, who gave birth beyond nature to the eternal Word, who is beyond all godhead, we sing your praise.
Translated by Ephrem Lash. Edition lash.en.anastasis.
