Ode III
su monos on thaumastos, kai en anthropois tois pistois hileos Euchologion, p.261
tr., John Brownlie
6.6.8.6
I
Thou Christ alone art great,
In Thee we ever find
Infinite love and tenderness,
And mercy wondrous kind.
II
Now in Thy love divine,
Come to the sufferers' aid;
In mercy Lord be merciful,
On Whom our wounds were laid.
III
Thy sanctifying grace,
O Christ send from above;
Seal Thou our souls and bodies now,
And heal us all in love.
