	Στίχοι τῆς αὐτῆς ἑορτῆς

	Ἄνω θρόνος φέρει σε καὶ πῶλος κάτω·
	ἐμὴν φορεῖς γὰρ εἰκόνα, πλαστουργέ μου,
	τὴν ἀσθένειαν, τὰς νόσους ἐπενδύῃ,
	ἄλγη διώκεις καὶ νεκροὺς Ἅιδου φέρεις·
	νεκρὸς τεταρταῖός τε Λάζαρος τρέχει.
	ζώντων δὲ πάντων καὶ νεκρῶν κρατῶν, Λόγε,
	πραῢς βασιλεὺς πρὸς Σιὼν ἔρχῃ πόλιν.
	παῖδες κλάδους σείουσιν, ὑμνοῦσι βρέφη,
	λαοὶ χιτῶνας στρωννύουσιν εἰς ἕδος,
	πόλις κλονεῖται, σείεται πᾶσα κτίσις.
