Ode 4. Irmos. Lord, I have heard.

Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

I have disregarded God’s laws, I have lived in every lawlessness; hasten, holy Martyr, help me, who am under condemnation, I implore you.

¶2

Bound for the Lord’s sake, you undid all the wickedness of the foe; from which save, O Martyr, all those who faithfully make their prayer to you.

¶3

On the day of judgement, when we stand before the Lord to be judged, become a helper for us who are under condemnation, glorious Martyr.

¶4

You gave a body to God, who dwelt in you in a manner past understanding; ask him, O All-blameless, that we may be found worthy of eternal glory.
