Ode 4. The Irmos.

I heard your report, Lord, and I was afraid; I considered your dispensation and I glorified you, only lover of mankind.

By being placed on a Tree you, who are life, brought me, who had died through a tree, back to life through your great mercy. Therefore, O Word, I glorify you.

Marvellously assembled together with your Initiates, O Lord, you said to them: Go forth, proclaim my Resurrection everywhere.

Confirming your Rising from the grave, Lord, for many days you assembled together with your friends, and made them joyful.

You gave sight to a man Blind from the womb, Lord, when you said: Go, wash and receive your sight, and glorify my Godhead.

O Trinity, identical in honour, undivided in Essence, divided in Persons, save all who with fear faithfully glorify you.

We glorify your child-bearing above nature, O Immaculate, in faith blessing you, O all unblemished, as the one who gave birth to the God of all.
