Ode iii. Irmos.
In thee thy church is glad....
Thou that alone art wonderful to faithful men, merciful Christ, grant from on high thy grace to him that suffereth grievously.
O Lord, who once, for thy divine token that the flood had ceas’d, didst shew an olive branch, in mercy save the afflicted one.

With a lamp of light divine, in mercy lighten him, O Christ, who now, in faith through the anointing, to thy mercy maketh speed.
Both now.
O Mother of the Maker of all things, look from on high with favour, and release, by thine entreaties, the sufferer from his bitter pain.
Kathisma, tone viii.
Like, The pastoral reed....
