1 Τὴν ἡμέϱαν τὴν φϱιχτὴν τῆς παναῤῥήτου σου παϱουσίας,
Φϱίττω ἐννοῶν, δεδοικὼς πϱοοϱῶ
Ἐν ᾐ πϱοκαϑίσεις, κϱῖναι ζῶντας καὶ νεκϱοὺς,
Θεέ μου Παντοδύναμε.

2 Ο῞τε ἥσεις ὁ Θεὸς, ὲν μυϱιἀσι καὶ χιλιάσι, τῶν
Ἀγγελλικῶν, οὐϱανίων ἀϱχῶν, κᾀμὲ ἐν νεφέλαις,
Ὑᾁμὲ ἐν νεφέλαις, ὐπαντῆσαί σοί Χϱιστὲ,
Τὸν ἄϑλιον ἀξίωσον.

3 Δεῦϱο λάβε μοι ψυχὴ, αὐτὴν τὴν ὥϱαν καὶ τὴν ἡμέϱαν,
Ὅτε ὁ Θεὸς ἐμφανῶς ἐπιοστῆ
Καὶ ϑϱήνησον, κλαῦσον, εὑϱεθῆναι καθαϱὰ,
Έν ὥϱᾳ τῆς ἐτάσεως.

4 Ε᾿ξιστᾷ με καὶ φοβεῖ, τὸ πῦϱ τὸ ἄσβεστον τῆς γεέννης,
Σκώληξ ὁ πικϱὸς τῶν ὀδόντων βϱυγμός
Ἀλλ᾽ ἄνὲς μοι ἄφες, καὶ τῆ στάσει με Χϱιστὲ,
Τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν σου σύνταξν.

5 Τῆς εὐκταίας σου φωνῆς, τῆς τους Ἁγίους σου πϱοσκαλούσης,
Ἐπὶ τὴν χαϱὰν, ἤς ἀκούσω κᾀγὼ,
Ὁ τάλας καὶ εὕϱω, βασιλείας οὐϱανῶν,
Τὴν ἄῤῥητον ἀπόλαυσιν.

He was banished by Constantine, for his resolute refusal to acknowledge the Emperor’s illicit marriage with Theodora, in 797. On the accession of Irene (798), he was recalled, and enjoyed the favour of the Empress. In 809 he was again banished, for the old cause, refusal to acknowledge the legitimacy of Constantine's marriage. Recalled once more in 811, he was imprisoned and again banished for his defence of the Icons, under Leo the Armenian. He was recalled a third time at the death of Leo, and died Nov. 11, 826 (Dr. Neale adds, "in banishment"). He succeeded his uncle, St. Plato, as Hegumen of the… Go to person page >
