Ode 9.

As a most fair and lovely and skilful Virgin, as an invincible Martyr and all-blameless Bride of the Master, with wings of gold you have reached your goal in heaven.

As a spiritual wallow, turtle-dove without corruption, dove with the gilded wings of martyrdom, who have flown to God and found your rest; we honour you.

Within the incorruptible bridal chamber, inspired Martyr, made ever radiant by the beams that shine out from your Bridegroom, intercede on behalf of us who devoutly sing your praise.

That I may glorify you, O Virgin truly glorified, deliver me from every disgrace and sin, and make me a partaker of heavenly glory, who take refuge in your mercy.

A stone, not cut by hand, was cut from you, O Virgin, the unhewn mountain, Christ, who joined together divided natures; and so with rejoicing, O Mother of God, we magnify you.
