7 Friday of Bright Week Vespers (Thursday Evening) At the Kyrie Ekekraksa Psalm 140 Master, I have cried to Thee, incline Thine ear and hear me: incline Thine ear and hear me Lord. Master, I have cried to Thee, incline Thine ear and hear me: hearken to the voice of my supplication; When I lift my fervent cry to Thee, incline Thine ear and hear me, Lord. Now unto Thee my prayer is ascending, as incense arising in Thy presence; heavenward, my hands are lifted, a vespertime sacrifice: incline Thine ear and hear me, Lord. Resurrection Stichera Tone Plagal 2 Bring my soul out of prison that I may confess Your name. You ascended the Cross to raise up with Yourself those who sit in darkness, O Christ, the victor over Hades; have mercy on us, almighty Savior Who are free among the dead, and Who overflow with life from the origin of light. The righteous shall wait patiently for me until You reward me. Today Christ has trampled upon death and has risen as He said; He has given joy to the world that we might all shout in praise: Have mercy upon us, O almighty Savior, the Fountain of life and unapproachable Light. Out of the depths I have cried to You, Lord; O Lord, hear my voice. 7 Εἰς τὸ «Κύριε, Ἐκέκραξα» Ψαλµὸς ρµ Κύριε ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ, εἰσάκουσόν µου, εἰσάκουσόν µου, Κύριε. Κύριε, ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ, εἰσάκουσόν µου πρόσχες τῇ φωνῇ τῆς δεήσεώς µου, ἐν τῷ κεκραγέναι µε πρὸς σὲ εἰσάκουσόν µου, Κύριε. Κατευθυνθήτω ἡ προσευχή µου, ὡς θυµίαµα ἐνώπιόν σου, ἔπαρσις τῶν χειρῶν µου θυσία ἑσπερινὴ εἰσάκουσόν µου, Κύριε. Στιχηρὰ Ἀναστάσιµα Ἦχος πλ. β Ἐξάγαγε ἐκ φυλακῆς τὴν ψυχήν µου, τοῦ ἐξοµολογήσασθαι τῷ ὀνόµατί σου. Νίκην ἔχων Χριστέ, τὴν κατὰ τοῦ ᾍδου, ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ ἀνῆλθες, ἵνα τοὺς ἐν σκοτει θανάτου καθηµένους, συναναστήσῃς σεαυτῷ, ὁ ἐν νεκροῖς ἐλεύθερος, ὁ πηγάζων ζωὴν ἐξ οἰκείου φωτός, Παντοδύναµε Σωτήρ, ἐλέησον ἡµᾶς. Ἐµὲ ὑποµενοῦσι δίκαιοι, ἕως οὐ ἀνταποδῷς µοι. Σήµερον ὁ Χριστός, θάνατον πατήσας, καθὼς εἶπεν ἀνέστη, καὶ τὴν ἀγαλλίασιν τῷ κόσµῳ ἐδωρήσατο, ἵνα πάντες κραυγάζοντες τὸν ὕµνον οὕτως εἴπωµεν Ἡ πηγὴ τῆς ζωῆς, τὸ ἀπρόσιτον φῶς, παντοδύναµε Σωτήρ, ἐλέησον ἡµᾶς. Ἐκ βαθέων ἐκέκραξά σοι, Κύριε, Κύριε εἰσάκουσον τῆς φωνῆς µου.

8 Friday of Bright Week Vespers (Thursday Evening) You, Lord, are present in all creation; where shall we sinners hide? In heaven? You dwell there. In Hades? You trample upon death there. In the depths of the sea? Your hand is there, O Master. We therefore seek refuge in You, and worship You pleading: have mercy upon us, O You Who rose from the dead. Anatolian Stichera Let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. We rejoice in Your Cross, O Christ, and we praise and glorify Your resurrection. You are indeed our God, and we have no other beside You. If You should mark iniquities, Lord, O Lord, who shall stand? For with You there is forgiveness. Glory to Your might, O Lord, for You have stopped the one who holds the power of death; You have renewed us by the Cross, bestowing life and incorruptibility upon us. Σὲ Κύριε τὸν ὄντα ἐν πάσῃ τῇ κτίσει, ἁµαρτωλοὶ ποῦ φύγωµεν; ἐν τῷ οὐρανῶ; αὐτὸς κατοικεῖς, ἐν τῷ ᾍδῃ; ἐπάτησας θάνατον, εἰς τὰ βάθη τὰ τῆς θαλάσσης; ἐκεῖ ἡ χείρ σου Δέσποτα. Πρὸς σὲ καταφεύγοµεν, σοὶ προσπίπτοντες ἱκετεύοµεν Ὁ ἀναστὰς ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν, ἐλέησον ἡµᾶς. Στιχηρὰ Ἀνατολικὰ Γενηθήτω τὰ ὦτά σου προσέχοντα εἰς τὴν φωνὴν τῆς δεήσεώς µου. Ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ σου Χριστὲ καυχώµεθα, καὶ τὴν Ἀνάστασίν σου, ὑµνοῦµεν καὶ δοξάζοµεν σὺ γὰρ εἶ Θεὸς ἡµῶν, ἐκτός σου ἄλλον οὐκ οἴδαµεν. Ἐὰν ἀνοµίας παρατηρήσῃς, Κύριε, Κύριε τίς ὑποστήσεται; ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ ὁ ἱλασµός ἐστιν. Δόξα τῇ δυνάµει σου Κύριε, ὅτι κατήργησας τὸν τὸ κράτος ἔχοντα τοῦ θάνατου, ἀνεκαίνισας ἡµᾶς διὰ τοῦ Σταυροῦ σου, δωρούµενος ἡµῖν ζωὴν καὶ ἀφθαρσίαν. For Your name s sake I have waited patiently for You, O Lord; my soul has waited patiently for Your word, my soul has hoped in the Lord. We bless the Lord always and praise His resurrection; He shattered death by death for our sake. Prosomoia Stichera of the Life-Giving Fountain Tone Plagal 2 Having laid up all their hope 8 Ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόµατός σου ὑπέµεινά σε, Κύριε ὑπέµεινεν ἡ ψυχή µου εἰς τὸν λόγον σου, ἤλπισεν ἡ ψυχή µου ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον. Διὰ παντὸς εὐλογοῦντες τὸν Κύριον, ὑµνοῦµεν τὴν Ἀνάστασιν αὐτοῦ Σταυρὸν γὰρ ὑποµείνας, θανάτῳ θάνατον ὤλεσε. Στιχηρὰ Προσὀµοια τῆς Ζωοδόχου Πηγῆς Ἦχος πλ. β' Ὅλην ἀποθέµενοι

9 Friday of Bright Week Vespers (Thursday Evening) From the morning watch until night, from the morning watch let Israel hope in the Lord. Marvelous and most-strange things did the sovereign Master of heaven from the first accomplish in You O all-blameless one; for perceptibly He came down from on high like rain in your pure womb and He thus proved you O bride of God to be a fountain gushing forth every kind of blessing and all good things; as well as a flood flowing with lavish benefactions of remedies unto all who ask you for strengthening of soul and for the health of body which you grant to them through the water of God's grace. For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption; and He shall redeem Israel out of all his iniquities. (Repeat) Marvelous and most-strange things did the sovereign Master of heaven from the first accomplish in You O all-blameless one; for perceptibly He came down from on high like rain in your pure womb and He thus proved you O bride of God to be a fountain gushing forth every kind of blessing and all good things; as well as a flood flowing with lavish benefactions of remedies unto all who ask you for strengthening of soul and for the health of body which you grant to them through the water of God's grace. Praise the Lord, all you nations; praise Him, all you peoples. Ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας µέχρι νυκτός, ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας, ἐλπισάτω Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον. Ξένα καὶ παράδοξα, τῶν οὐρανῶν ὁ Δεσπότης, ἐπὶ σοὶ τετέλεκε, καταρχὰς Πανάµωµε καὶ γὰρ ἄνωθεν, ἐµφανῶς ἔσταξεν, ὑετὸς καθάπερ, ἐν τῇ µήτρᾳ σου Θεόνυµφε, Πηγὴν δεικνύων σε, σύµπαν ἀγαθὸν ἀναβλύζουσαν, πληµµύραν τε ἰάσεων, τὰς εὐεργεσίας προρρέουσαν ἅπασιν ἀφθόνως, τοῖς χρῄζουσι τὴν ῥῶσιν τῶν ψυχῶν, καὶ τήν ὑγείαν τοῦ σώµατος, ὕδατι τῆς χάριτος. Ὅτι παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἔλεος καὶ πολλὴ παρ αὐτῷ λύτρωσις καὶ αὐτὸς λυτρώσεται τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν ἀνοµιῶν αὐτοῦ. (Πάλιν) Ξένα καὶ παράδοξα, τῶν οὐρανῶν ὁ Δεσπότης, ἐπὶ σοὶ τετέλεκε, καταρχὰς Πανάµωµε καὶ γὰρ ἄνωθεν, ἐµφανῶς ἔσταξεν, ὑετὸς καθάπερ, ἐν τῇ µήτρᾳ σου Θεόνυµφε, Πηγὴν δεικνύων σε, σύµπαν ἀγαθὸν ἀναβλύζουσαν, πληµµύραν τε ἰάσεων, τὰς εὐεργεσίας προρρέουσαν ἅπασιν ἀφθόνως, τοῖς χρῄζουσι τὴν ῥῶσιν τῶν ψυχῶν, καὶ τήν ὑγείαν τοῦ σώµατος, ὕδατι τῆς χάριτος. Αἰνεῖτε τὸν Κύριον πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἐπαινέσατε αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ λαοί. 9

10 Friday of Bright Week Vespers (Thursday Evening) As is just and proper I call you the heavenly manna and a spring divine and pure coming forth from Paradise O Lady most blessed; for the great stream of grace of your spring has flowed forth throughout the four parts of all the earth and daily covers it with many dread and awesome miracles; and when the water has been drunk it fulfills each man's petitions O Maiden. Wherefore with rejoicing all we who bear the name of Christ make haste with faith to draw hallowed water from the sweet streams that flow from it. For He has made His mercy to prevail over us, and the truth of the Lord abides to the ages. You always gush forth streams of healings O holy Virgin unto those who come to you with faith to your spring O bride of God for you lavishly make to flow as a gift healings in abundance to the ailing and to the diseased and you brightly shine on the blind that come to you and they see. And you have restored many of the lame and you have given strength to paralytics; by a threefold pouring you also raised up to life one who was dead and have healed those crippled and those with maladies of their lungs. Idiomelon of the Theotokos Tone Plagal 4 Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Who can tell of your mighty deeds, O life-giving spring, for you pour forth many supernal deeds from the flood of Μάννα σε οὐράνιον, καὶ Παραδείσου Παρθένε, τὴν Πηγὴν τὴν ἔνθεον, ὀνοµάζω Δέσποινα προσφυέστατα τῆς γὰρ γῆς ἔδραµεν, ἡ ῥοὴ καὶ χάρις, τῆς Πηγῆς σου τετραµέρειαν αὐτῆς καλύπτουσα, ξένοις τεραστίοις ἑκάστοτε, καὶ πᾶσι τὸ αἰτούµενον γίνεται τὸ ὕδωρ πινόµενον ὅθεν γεγηθότες, Χριστώνυµοι προστρέχοµεν πιστῶς, ἁγιασµόν ἀρυόµενοι, πάντοτε γλυκύρροον. Ὅτι ἐκραταιώθη τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἐφ ἡµᾶς, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ Κυρίου µένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. Ῥεῖθρα τῶν ἰάσεων, ἀναβλυστάνεις Παρθένε, τοῖς πιστῶς προστρέχουσι, τῇ Πηγῇ σου πάντοτε, θεονύµφευτε δωρεὰν ῥέεις γάρ, δαψιλῆ καὶ χύδην τοῖς νοσοῦσι τὰ Ἰάµατα, τυφλοὺς ἐµβλέποντας, φαίνεις ἐναργῶς προσιόντας σοι, χωλοὺς πολλοὺς ἀνώρθωσας καὶ τοὺς παρειµένους συνέσφιγξας, τὸν δὲ νεκρωθέντα, ἐζώωσας προσχύσει τῇ τριττῇ, ὑδρωπικῶν καὶ δυσπνόων τε, πάθη ἐθεράπευσας. Ἰδιόµελον τῆς Θεοτόκου Ἦχος πλ. δ' Δόξα Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ καὶ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύµατι. Τίς λαλήσει τὰς δυναστείας σου Πηγὴ; ἥτις ἐξ ἀκενώτων θαυµάτων πληµµυροῦσα, πολλὰ καὶ ὑπὲρ φύσιν 10

11 Friday of Bright Week Vespers (Thursday Evening) your inexhaustible wonders by your healings? O how great are the mighty wonders which you pour forth upon all! You have driven away not only the grievous illnesses of those who draw near to you with love, but you also cleanse and wash away the passions of the soul, O all-spotless one. And together with all this, you also bestow upon us great mercy. The First Theotokion of the Tone ἐνεργεῖς διὰ ἰάσεων. Βαβαὶ τῶν µεγαλείων, ὧν τοῖς πάσιν ἐπιρρέεις! οὐ µόνον γὰρ νοσήµατα χαλεπὰ ἀπήλασας, τῶν προσιόντων µετὰ πόθου, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ τῶν ψυχῶν πάθη ἐκπλύνεις καθαρίζουσα πανάσπιλε, σὺν πᾶσι βραβεύουσα καὶ µέγα ἔλεος. Τό α Θεοτοκίον τοῦ ἤχου Tone Plagal 2 Ἦχος πλ. β Now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen. Who will not bless you, all-holy Virgin? Who shall not praise your birth-giving free of pain? For the onlybegotten Son coming timelessly from the Father has ineffably become incarnate within you, O pure one. He Who was God by nature became man by nature for our sake, not divided into two persons but known by two natures not mixed or confused. Plead with Him, O blessed one, for the salvation of our souls. Entrance Καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀµήν. Τίς µὴ µακαρίσει σε, Παναγία Παρθένε; τίς µὴ ἀνυµνήσει σου τὸν ἀλόχευτον τόκον; ὁ γὰρ ἀχρόνως ἐκ Πατρὸς ἐκλάµψας Υἱὸς µονογενής, ὁ αὐτὸς ἐκ σοῦ τῆς Ἁγνῆς προῆλθεν, ἀφράστως σαρκωθείς, φύσει Θεὸς ὑπάρχων, καὶ φύσει γενόµενος ἄνθρωπος δι ἡµᾶς, οὐκ εἰς δυάδα προσώπων τεµνόµενος, ἀλλ ἐν δυάδι φύσεων, ἀσυγχύτως γνωριζόµενος. Αὐτὸν ἱκέτευε, σεµνὴ Παµµακάριστε, ἐλεηθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡµῶν. Εἴσοδος Deacon Wisdom! Rise! Διάκονος Σοφία. Ὁρθοί. O gladsome light of holy glory, the immortal Father, heavenly and holy, blessed Jesus Christ, now that we have come to the setting of the sun and see the light of evening, we praise You, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one God. It is worthy at all times to praise You, with voices of holy song, O Son of God the Giver of life (of life): the world does glorify (glorify) You. Φως ἱλαρὸν ἁγίας δόξης, ἀθανάτου Πατρός, οὐρανίου, ἁγίου, µάρκαρος, Ἰησοῦ Χριστέ, ἐλθόντες ἐπὶ τὴν ἠλίου δύσιν, ἰδόντες φῶς ἑσπερινόν, ὑµνοῦµεν Πατέρα, Υἱόν, καὶ ἅγιον Πνεῦµα Θεόν.

29 Friday of Bright Week Matins (Friday Morning) Katavasiai of Pascha by Saint John of Damascus Tone 1 Ode 1 This is the day of resurrection, let us be radiant O people: Pascha, the Lord's Pascha. For Christ our God has passed us from death to life, and from earth to heaven, we who sing the song of victory. Ode 3 Come, let us drink a new drink, not one wondrously brought forth from a barren rock, but from the fount of incorruption, which springs forth, from the tomb of Christ, in Whom we are established. Ode 4 The inspired Prophet Habbakuk now stands with us in holy vigil, he is like a shining angel, who cries with a piercing voice: Today salvation has come to the world, for Christ is risen as all-powerful. Ode 5 Let us rise early at the break of dawn, and offer a hymn instead of myrrh to the Master. And let us behold Christ the Son of righteousness, Who causes life to rise for all. Ode 6 You descended, into the depths of the earth, and shattered the everlasting bars, which kept the dead captive. And like Jonah from the whale, You arose O Christ from the tomb, on the third day. Καταβασίαι τοῦ Πάσχα Ποίηµα Ἰωάννου τοῦ Δαµασκηνοῦ Ἦχος α' ᾨδὴ α' Ἀναστάσεως ἡµέρα λαµπρυνθῶµεν Λαοί, Πάσχα Κυρίου, Πάσχα ἐκ γὰρ θανάτου πρὸς ζωήν, καὶ ἐκ γῆς πρὸς οὐρανόν, Χριστὸς ὁ Θεός, ἡµᾶς διεβίβασεν, ἐπινίκιον ᾄδοντας. ᾨδὴ γ' Δεῦτε πόµα πίωµεν καινόν, οὐκ ἐκ πέτρας ἀγόνου τερατουργούµενον, ἀλλ' ἀφθαρσίας πηγήν, ἐκ τάφου ὀµβρήσαντος Χριστοῦ, ἐν ᾧ στερεούµεθα. ᾨδὴ δ' Ἐπὶ τῆς θείας φυλακῆς ὁ θεηγόρος Ἀββακούµ, στήτω µεθ' ἡµῶν καὶ δεικνύτω, φαεσφόρον Ἄγγελον, διαπρυσίως λέγοντα Σήµερον σωτηρία τῷ κόσµῳ, ὅτι ἀνέστη Χριστός ὡς παντοδύναµος. ᾨδὴ ε' Ὀρθρίσωµεν ὄρθρου βαθέος, καὶ ἀντὶ µυρου τὸν ὕµνον προσοίσοµεν τῷ Δεσπότῃ, καὶ Χριστὸν ὀψόµεθα, δικαιοσύνης ἥλιον, πᾶσι ζωὴν ἀνατέλλοντα. ᾨδὴ στ' Κατῆλθες ἐν τοῖς κατωτάτοις τῆς γῆς, καὶ συνέτριψας µοχλοὺς αἰωνίους, κατόχους πεπεδηµένων Χριστέ, καὶ τριήµερος ὡς ἐκ κήτους Ἰωνᾶς, ἐξανέστης τοῦ τάφου. 29

30 Friday of Bright Week Matins (Friday Morning) Ypakoë Read (Tone 4) Those who came with Mary anticipated the dawn, but found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher and heard the Angel say: Why do you seek Him Who abides in everlasting light among those who are dead, as though He were merely a mortal man? See the grave-clothes: go quickly and proclaim to the world that the Lord is risen, and has put death to death; for He is the Son of God, Who saves the human race. Kontakion of Pascha Read (Tone Plagal 4) Though You descended into the grave, O immortal One, You overthrew the power of Hades; You arose as victor, O Christ God, saying loudly to the women, Rejoice; and You bestowed peace upon Your Apostles, O O You Who grants resurrection to the fallen. Oikos of Pascha Read (Tone 4) Before sunrise the myrrh-bearing maidens came as though it were day to seek the Son Who had descended into the grave; and as they went they said to one another: Come O friends, let us anoint with fragrant spices the lifegiving and buried body of Christ Who raised up the fallen Adam; let us hasten like the Magi and adore Christ bringing myrrh as a gift to Him Who is wrapped now not in swaddling clothes but in a burial shroud; and let us weep and cry out to Him: Arise, O Master, Who grants resurrection to the fallen. 30 Ὑπακοὴ Χῦµα (Ἦχος δ') Προλαβοῦσαι τὸν ὄρθρον αἱ περὶ Μαριάµ, καὶ εὑροῦσαι τὸν λίθον ἀποκυλισθέντα τοῦ µνήµατος, ἤκουον ἐκ τοῦ Ἀγγέλου Τὸν ἐν φωτὶ ἀϊδίῳ ὑπάρχοντα, µετὰ νεκρῶν τί ζητεῖτε ὡς ἄνθρωπον; βλέπετε τὰ ἐντάφια σπάργανα, δράµετε, καὶ τῷ κόσµῳ κηρύξατε, ὡς ἠγέρθη ὁ Κύριος, θανατώσας τὸν θάνατον, ὅτι ὑπάρχει Θεοῦ Υἱός, τοῦ σῴζοντος τὸ γένος τῶν ἀνθρώπων. Κοντάκιον τοῦ Πάσχα Χῦµα (Ἦχος πλ. δ') Εἰ καὶ ἐν τάφῳ κατῆλθες ἀθάνατε, ἀλλὰ τοῦ ᾍδου καθεῖλες τὴν δύναµιν, καὶ ἀνέστης ὡς νικητής, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός, γυναιξὶ Μυροφόροις φθεγξάµενος. «Χαίρετε,» καὶ τοῖς σοῖς Ἀποστόλοις εἰρήνην δωρούµενος ὁ τοῖς πεσοῦσι παρέχων ἀνάστασιν. Οἶκος τοῦ Πάσχα Χῦµα (Ἦχος πλ. δ') Τὸν πρὸ ἡλίου Ἥλιον, δύναντα ποτὲ ἐν τάφῳ, προέφθασαν πρὸς ὄρθρον, ἐκζητοῦσαι ὡς ἡµέραν, Μυροφόροι κόραι, καὶ πρὸς ἀλλήλας ἐβόων Ὦ φίλαι, δεῦτε τοῖς ἀρώµασιν ὑπαλείψωµεν, Σῶµα ζωηφόρον καὶ τεθαµµένον, σάρκα ἀνιστῶσαν τὸν παραπεσόντα Ἀδὰµ κείµενον ἐν τῷ µνήµατι, ἄγωµεν, σπεύσωµεν, ὥσπερ οἱ Μάγοι, καὶ προσκυνήσωµεν, καὶ προσκοµίσωµεν τὰ µύρα ὡς δῶρα τῷ µὴ ἐν σπαργάνοις, ἀλλ' ἐν σινδόνι ἐνειληµένῳ, καὶ κλαύσωµεν, καὶ κράξωµεν Ὦ Δέσποτα ἐξεγέρθητι, ὁ τοῖς πεσοῦσι παρέχων ἀνάστασιν.

31 Friday of Bright Week Matins (Friday Morning) Kontakion of the Theotokos Read (Tone Plagal 4) From your unfailing fount, O maid most graced of God, you reward me by the flow of the unending streams of your grace that surpass human understanding. And since you did incomprehensibly bear the incarnate Word, I entreat you to refresh me with your divine grace, that I may cry to you: Rejoice, O water of salvation. Oikos of the Theotokos Read (Tone Plagal 4) Spotless Theotokos, who ineffably gave birth to the Word Who was of the Father before the ages, open my mouth, O modest one, that I may be rendered capable of praising you, and that I may acclaim you, crying these things to your spring: Rejoice, Spring of unceasing joyfulness; Rejoice, stream of ineffable comeliness. Rejoice, banishment of diverse impairments; Rejoice, destruction of various ailments. Rejoice, brook of clarity, curing those who believe; Rejoice, water of felicity, manifoldly healing the ailing. Rejoice, vessel of wisdom, banishing ignorance; Rejoice, draft for the heart, brimming with ambrosia in abundance. Rejoice, bowl of manna with life streaming from it; Rejoice, laver and nectar, divinely flowing. Κοντάκιον τῆς Θεοτόκου Χῦµα (Ἦχος πλ. δ' - Τῇ ὑπερµάχῳ) Ἐξ ἀκενώτου σου Πηγῆς θεοχαρίτωτε ἐπιβραβεύεις µοι πηγάζουσα τὰ νάµατα, ἀενάως τῆς σῆς χάριτος ὑπὲρ λόγον τὸν γὰρ Λόγον ὡς τεκοῦσαν ὑπὲρ ἔννοιαν, ἱκετεύω σε δροσίζειν µε σῇ χάριτι, ἵνα κράζω σοι Χαῖρε ὕδωρ σωτήριον. Οἶκος τῆς Θεοτόκου Χῦµα (Ἦχος πλ. δ') Ἄχραντε Θεοτόκε, ἡ τεκοῦσα ἀρρήτως, Πατρὸς τὸν προαιώνιον Λόγον πλάτυνόν µου τὸ στόµα σεµνή, συνεισφέρουσά µε πρὸς τὸν σὸν ἔπαινον, ὡς ἂν ἀνευφηµήσω σε, κραυγάζων τῇ πηγῇ σου ταῦτα Χαῖρε πηγή, χαρµονῆς ἀλλήκτου, χαῖρε ῥοή, καλλονῆς ἀρρήτου. Χαῖρε, νοσηµάτων παντοίων κατάλυσις, χαῖρε, παθηµάτων ποικίλων κατάκλυσις. Χαῖρε ῥεῖθρον διειδέστατον, ὑγιάζον τοὺς πιστούς, χαῖρε ὕδωρ χαριέστατον τοῖς νοσοῦσι πολλαπλῶς. Χαῖρε νᾶµα σοφίας, ἀγνωσίαν ἐξαῖρον, χαῖρε κρᾶµα καρδίας, ἀµβροσίαν προρρέον. Χαῖρε κρατὴρ τοῦ µάννα ζωήρρυτε, χαῖρε λουτὴρ καὶ νέκταρ θεόρρευστε. 31

If I dare to enter into the bridal chamber, my garment exposes me, because it is not for the wedding feast, and bound I shall be cast out by the Angels; O Lord, cleanse the pollution of my soul, and save me, for You love mankind. O Master Who loves mankind, O Lord Jesus Christ my God, do not let these Holy Gifts be for judgment because of my unworthiness, but for the cleansing and sanctification of both soul and body, and for a pledge of the future life and Kingdom. For it is good for me to cleave to God, to put the hope of my salvation in the Lord.
