Ode 9.
Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash
Mortal speech has no strength to hymn you worthily, O Unity without beginning; unless, daring as far as is attainable from faith, O Trinity of equal throne, we offer divine glory and praise to your might. (
With mouths unsullied, Cherubim and Seraphim glorify you, the one God of threefold light, with equal-matching glory; with them, Lord, also accept us sinners, who magnify your might.
As pure, blameless and virgin you bore a Son, who delivers us from temptations, God without change; but now implore him too to give us forgiveness of faults.
