Ode 1. Tone 6. Irmos

‘The Red Sea by a cut staff is cut, the deep, source of waves, grows dry, itself becomes pathway for the unarmed and a tomb for the fully armed. A song pleasing to God was raised, ‘Christ our God has been greatly glorified’.’

The cause of all and source of life, the infinite Wisdom of God, has built himself a house from a pure mother who did not know man; for putting on the temple of his body Christ our God has been greatly glorified.

Instructing his friends in the mysteries, the true Wisdom of God prepares a table to nourish souls, mixes the bowl of immortality for believers. Let us draw near with reverence and let us cry, ‘Christ our God has been greatly glorified’.

All we believers, let us listen as with loud proclamation the uncreated, natural Wisdom of God invites us, for he cries, ‘Taste and know that I am good. Shout aloud, ‘Christ our God has been greatly glorified’’.

The Red Sea by a cut staff is cut, the deep, source of waves, grows dry, itself becomes a pathway for the unarmed and a tomb for the fully armed. A song pleasing to God was raised, ‘Christ our God has been greatly glorified’.
