¶1

Wondrous is God in His saints the God of Israel.

¶2

Revealing a complete understanding of wisdom, and a full perfection of goodness through gifts, O Master, Thou didst number the company of martyrs with the choir of angels. Vouchsafe him (her) who hath been translated unto Thee, O Christ, to obtain Thine ineffable glory, where there is the abode of them that make glad, and the pure voice of rejoicing. Him (her) who singeth of Thy divine dominion, whom Thou hast taken away from the earth, do Thou receive, making him (her) a child of light, cleansing him (her) from the darkness of sin, O Thou Who art plenteous in mercy. O receptacle most pure, O spotless temple, O ark all-holy, O virgin mercy-seat: the Master hath chosen thee, the beauty of Jacob.
