Ode III

Irmos, Tone 4: Thy Church rejoiceth in Thee, O Christ, /

Tone 8 [Sticheron Melody]: O Compassionate One, Who art like a divine river of mercy / and an abyss of great loving-kindness: / Show forth the divine streams of thy mercy, and heal all; / cause fountains of miracles to gush forth in abundance, and wash all clean: // for ever fleeing to thee, we fervently ask grace.

crying aloud: / Thou art my strength, O Lord, // my refuge and my consolation!

O merciful Lord, hearken to the supplication of Thy servants, who pray unto Thee.

O merciful Christ, Who alone art wondrous in men of faith, grant Thy grace from on high unto those who are grievously ill.

O merciful Lord, hearken to the supplication of Thy servants, who pray unto Thee.

O Lord, Who by Thy divine gesture didst once show forth an olive-branch the mark the abatement of the flood, by Thy mercy save those who are suffering.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As with a lamp of divine light, O Christ, in Thy mercy illumine with anointing those who now hasteneth to Thy mercy with faith.

Both now and ever, and unto the unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Look down with good pleasure from on high, O Mother of the Creator of all, and by thy supplications lift the bitter affliction of those who are sick.

Sessional hymns:

Tone 4 [Spec. Mel.: ]: O Physician and Helper of those in sickness, / Deliverer and Savior of the infirm: / Do Thou Thyself, O Master and Lord, grant healing to Thine ailing servants. / Take pity and have mercy upon those who have sinned exceedingly, / and deliver them from transgressions, O Christ, // that they may glorify Thy divine power.
