Both now.
Most holy and God-bearing ever-virgin, strong shelter and defence, thou ladder and thou wall, have mercy and compassion on the sufferer; for he hath fled to thee, and thee alone.
Ode v. Irmos.
Thou, Lord, my light....
Thou, good one, that art mercy’s depth, do thou, O merciful, have mercy, in thy mercifulness divine, on him that suffereth; for thou art loving-kind.
Sanctifying unspeakably from on high, O Christ, our souls and bodies with the divine impression of thy seal, with thine own hand heal all.
Glory.
O most good Lord, who, through thine untold love, acceptedst myrrh-anointing from the sinful woman; compassionate thy servant.
Both now.
