Occurrence 35551

Χεῖρας μὲν αὐτὸς εἰς περάτωσιν ἔχει
Ἔργων ἀεικῶν εὐκινήτους καὶ λίαν,
Ὁ γράψας ἄρτι τὴν παροῦσαν πυξίδα,
Πρὸς δ᾽ αὖ γε καλῶν χρησίμων καὶ βελτίων
Ἔργων ἀγαθῶν καὶ Θεῷ φιλουμένων
Καὶ χεῖρας ἅμα καὶ ψυχὴν αὐτὴν φέρει
Λίαν ῥαθύμους καὶ κατησθενημένας.
Πόθον δὲ πλουτεῖ καὶ ψυχῇ καὶ καρδίᾳ
Πρὸς εὐτρεπισμὸν τῆς παρούσης πυξίδος,
Ἥνπερ προηγόρευσαν οἱ θεηγόροι
Στάθμην ἀκλιῆ τῶν ὅρων Ἐκκλησίας.
Καὶ Κροίσου τυχεῖν καὶ Μίδου τῶν χρυσίων,
Εἰ γοῦν Θεοῦ πέφυκε τοῦτο καὶ μόνου,
Ὁρᾶν λογισμοὺς καὶ διαθέσεις βλέπειν,
Πολλῷ δὲ μᾶλλον καὶ σκοπὸν τῆς καρδίας,
Ποθεῖν χρυσίων ἀντὶ μυρίων ὅσων.
Καὶ σύ, παναμώμητε Μῆτερ Κυρίου,
Ψυχῶν ἰατήριον καὶ σωτηρία,
Ἅγνισμα, καλλώπισμα τῆς οἰκονομίας,
Ψυχῆς ἐποπτάουσα τὴν προθυμίαν,
Δέχου προσηνῶς τὴν παροῦσαν πυξίδα,
Ἣν δουλικῶς ἔγραψε, σῇ δὲ δαπάνῃ,
Ἐμὴ ῥυπαρὰ δεξιά, καθὼς ἔφην,
Δίδου δὲ λύτρα τῶν ἐμῶν ἁμαρτάδων.
