Ode 4. Irmos. Christ is my power.
Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash
Ode 5. Irmos. With your divine radiance.
The Lord of all things has appeared to us, blest Prophet, in accordance with your prophecy, summoning all things to knowledge of himself, and has freed them from slavery.
Made radiant by grace, you prophesied saying that those who worship should come under one yoke, being brought to the faith and adoring the Lord.
Mary, All-pure, scatter the flood of passions of my mind and the storm of temptations, as the one who gave birth to the source of dispassion, O Virgin Mother.
Turn me from unrighteousness to virtue, from the captivity of the passions, blessed, glorious Prophet, by your intercessions, and direct my works to the light of true religion.
You made your soul resplendent with the rays of the virtues, and showed it to be ready for the beams of the divine Spirit; from whom you were also enriched with the grace of prophecy.
Prophetic sayings, All-holy Virgin, announce through symbols your child-bearing; we, who now see their fulfilment, proclaim you to be in truth Mother of God.
