	Ἔχων με φρουρὸν μἡ πτοοῦ κτύπους φόβων
	καυτὴρ γάρ εἰμὶ φρικτοειδὴς δαιμόνων
	ἐφ' ᾧ τυποῦμαι χώραν οὐ σατὰν ἔχει.
	καθεῖλον γάρ τὸ κράτος αὐτοῦ παντάπαξ.
	τύπον δὲ δέρκων τοῦ θεοπλόκου ξύλου.
	σταυρέ φῶς μου λάμπε μοι παντὶ τῷ χρόνῳ
	πόρρω διώκων τῆς ψυχῆς μου τὸ σκότος.
	ἐν τῷ δε χεῖρας ἐξαπλοὺς ὁ δεσπότης.
	ρύει κόσμον ἐκ βάθρου τῶν πταισμάτων.
	χαίροις τρόπαιον τῆς ἄνω πανευτυχίας.
	ἐν σοὶ τέτραπται πᾶσα δαιμόνων φάλαγξ.
	χαίροις μοναστῶν παντέλαφρον φορτίον.
	ἐν σοὶ γάρ αὐτοῖς κοῦφος ὁ Χριστοῦ δρόμος.
	σταυρὸς μοναστῶν εὔδρομος σωτηρία.
	σταυρὸς φιλούντων ἔνθεος πορνοκτόνος.
	χαίροις φυλακτὴρ οὕς παρεδρεύσεις τόπους.
	σκέποις ἄσινον τοὺς μένοντας ἐνθάδε.
