Ode 7. Irmos.

We the faithful recognise you, O Mother of God, as a spiritual furnace; for as he, the highly exalted, saved the three Youths, so he wholly refashioned me, humanity, in your womb, the God of our Fathers. praised and glorified above all.

Jesus the Lord, being source of life, sent out like rivers the Disciples watering with streams of the knowledge of God all that lies beneath the sun, and singing: God of the Fathers, praised and highly exalted.

Carrying in their hearts a spiritual fire, the divine grace of Christ, O Disciples, you burnt up the matter of godlessness. Therefore consume my material passions, God of the Fathers, praised and highly exalted.

Deliver me from the punishment of the fire, O God, at the entreaties of your Disciples, and do not cast me away from your presence, who cry out to in repentance: God of the Fathers, praised and highly exalted.

Draw me out from corrupting sins and passions, you who were born without corruption from the Mother of God, granting incorruption to those who sing: O God of the Fathers, praised and highly exalted.
