	Στίχοι

	Ἀνῆλθε Χριστὸς ἐξ ὄρους πρὸς τὸν πόλον,
	πατρῷον ἐξώρμησεν εἰς πυρὸς θρόνον
	καὶ σάρκα θνητὴν τὴν κατακεκριμένην
	ἄνω τίθησιν ἀγγέλων, ἀρχαγγέλων,
	κυριοτήτων καὶ θρόνων πυριπνόων,
	θρόνῳ καθίζει τοῦ Πατρὸς βροτῶν φύσιν.
	μήτηρ πάρεστι σὺν μαθητῇ εἰς ὄρος,
	ὁρῶσι θείους ἀγγέλους ἀφιγμένους
	λέγοντας οὕτως· «δευτέρᾳ παρουσίᾳ
	ἐλεύσεται τάχιστα τόνδε τὸν τρόπον
	κρίνων ἅπαντας καὶ φίλους σώζων μόνους».
