Ode 7.

Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

You obtained an inclination that loved God and with a body you imitated Angels, ardently keeping vigil and fervently chanting: Blessed are you, Lord God, to the ages.

¶2

Melting your body by self-mastery and every mortification, all-venerable Saint, you fervently cried aloud: Blessed are you, Lord God, to the ages.

¶3

All your longing, venerable Saint, was directed to the Master alone, as in every way you sang his praise and cried aloud: Blessed are you, Lord God, to the ages.

¶4

Abolishing the curse of Eve you made your dwelling in the all-blameless Virgin, pouring forth a fount of blessing for those who cry: Blessed, All-pure, is the fruit of your womb.
