Ode 1. Irmos.
Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash
Drowning Pharao’s chariots in the deep, you parted the sea, Lord, and saved the Israelite people as they praised you with songs.
Deliver me, Sinless One, from ten thousand offences, which I have senselessly committed, granting me tears of compunction as you once did to the Harlot.
Through shameful deeds I have become a robbers’ cave, show me through virtues show me to be your house, O Lover of mankind, born by your wish in a cave.
Of the Martyrs.
With God’s Spirit at the helm, inspired Martyrs, you sped through the tempest of torments and reached God’s haven.
Alight with the grace of the Spirit, all-praised Martyrs, you fled rejoicing from the folly of idols.
All-holy, immaculate help of sinners, righting of the fallen, give me who have sinned greatly the repentance of compunction.
