Ode 3.

The spiritual beings you conceived and caused them to subsist to hymn your Godhead unceasingly, O God, triple light and maker of all; but accept too the supplication of creatures of clay and earth, and their entreaty, as you are compassionate.

Glory. Both now.

**Theotokion.**

By nature you admit no alteration; grant to us who are changeable and who sing the unsearchable fount of your goodness pardon of offences and salvation as you are compassionate.

We glorify you, Father, Son and Spirit in the unchangeable form of the Godhead, the single and triple-shining Lord, as the Prophets and Apostles were clearly taught by you.

As the Angel of Great Counsel of the Almighty you appeared to Moses in the bush, O Word of God; foreshowing your incarnation from a Virgin through which you have transformed us and made us mount to heaven.

You are merciful, O undivided Trinity; for you have mercy on all as all-powerful; you are all-pitying, compassionate and full of mercy. Therefore we flee to you, sinners weighed down by many sins who cry: Have mercy on your servants and deliver us all from every punishment.

All-holy Virgin, have mercy on us, who with faith flee to you in your compassion, and ask for your fervent assistance; for as you are good you have power to save us all, as you are Mother of God most high and ever employ your motherly intercessions, O full of God’s grace.
