Ode 4. The One seated in glory.

Made radiant with the beauty of the noblest contest, you were revealed as shining lamps, Maidens of Christ, with shining rays making resplendent those who cry: Glory to your power, O Lord!

You were made beautiful, O Virgins, and radiantly glorified, having loved without limit the glorified Word, wounded by whose love you most valiantly endured the assaults of sufferings.

By your intercession with Christ drive away the attack of the varied temptations and dangers of me, who fervently celebrate with you all-festive memorial, O worthy of praise.

All-immaculate, who gave birth to life, make me live, who have been put to death by the wickedness of the trickster for I have had recourse to you. And bring me back, who have fallen into depths of transgressions, as you are compassionate, O All-praised.
