Ode 5. Irmos. Rising at dawn.
Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash
Ode 6. Irmos. Be merciful to me, Saviour.
Revered Martyr, you accomplished great struggles on earth; by your sacred prayers rescue us from great evils, dangers and tribulations, that we may glorify you with love.
United with the heavenly powers, brave Champion, intercede that those who sing your praise on earth may be saved.
Heal, I cry to you, revered Martyr, the chronic passions of my soul, by making supplication to the Lover of mankind.
In accordance with laws you competed; empower us then to keep the laws of the Almighty, glorious Martyr.
Virgin Mother of God, implore your Son to give us pardon of faults and his mercy.
Wise Martyr, a light which never sets has dawned for you who struggled, and holy tents of joy received you. As you dwell in them remember those who sing your praise on earth.
Do not declare me, Jesu, to be one condemned when I stand before your dread throne, O Word; but take pity, save me at the godly mediations of your Saint, O you of many mercies.
Hallow my mind and guide my soul to light, All-holy Maiden, Mother of God and ever-Virgin who ineffably bore God who rests among the saints.
Be merciful to me, Saviour, for my iniquities are many; and lead me up, I beg, from a deep of evils, for I have cried to you; and hearken to me, God of my salvation.
