	Τὸν οὐρανὸν τίς δημιουργεῖ τῶ λόγω,
	Καὶ γῆν ἐφαπλοῖ, Μωϋσῆς καθὼς γράφει,
	Καὶ τᾶλλα πάντα τῶν θεόπτου ῥημάτων,
	Ἐνταῦθά μοι γνοὺς ἐκ λόγων Χρυσοστόμου,
	Τορώτερον σάλπιγγος ἠχήσεις λέγων˙
	Σῆς ἔργα ταῦτα χειρός, ὦ παντοκράτορ,
	Ἦι πᾶν ὑπέστη καὶ συνέστη καὶ μένει,
	Ὡς οἶδας αὐτός, ὡς ἐπίστασαι μόνος.
	Ἀλλʹ ὦ βραχίων δεξιᾶς ἀκηράτου,
	Τὸν ταῦτα χειρὸς ἔργα νῦν καλλιγράφου,
	Δείξαντα καὶ προθέντα κοινὴν εἰς χάριν,
	Σώζειν καταξίωσον οἷς οἶδας τρόποις.
