Song 6.
Eirmos:
I cried with my whole heart to the merciful God,
and He heard me from the lowest hell and raised my
life out of corruption.
Refrain:
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.
Troparia:
Rise and make war against the passions of the flesh, as
Joshua did against Amalek, and ever conquer the
Gibeonites - illusive thoughts.
(Exodus 17:8; Josh. 8:21)
Pass through the flowing nature of time, like the Ark of old,
and take possession of the Land of Promise, my soul: It is
God's command.
(Josh. 3:17; Deuteronomy 1:8)
As Thou savedst Peter when he cried, "Save me!", forestall
and deliver me from the beast, O Savior; stretch out Thy
hand and raise me from the depths of sin.
(Matthew 14:25-31)
I know Thee as a calm haven, O Lord, Lord Christ; but
forestall and deliver me from the innermost depths of sin and
despair.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit:
To The Trinity:
I am the Trinity, simple and undivided, divided
Personally, and I am the Unity, united in nature, says the
Father, the Son, and the Divine Spirit.
Now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
