Ἂν βάρος με τῶν λυπηρῶν τῶν ἀμετρήτων θλίβῃ
εὑρίσκω σὲ τὸν κουφισμόν, παρθενομῆτορ κόρη·
ἂν καταιγὶς τῶν συμφορῶν δεινῶς καταβαπτίζῃ,
ἀλλὰ λιμένα βλέπων σε τὸν βυθισμὸν οὐ τρέμω·
ἂν ἐξ ἐφόδων ἐθνικῶν πλήττωμαι τὴν καρδίαν,
σύ μου στερρὸν προπύργιον καὶ σύμμαχος καὶ σκέπη·
ἂν ἀφορμὰς ψυχωφελεῖς ῥαθύμως παρατρέχω,
σύ μου θερμὴ διέγερσις ἐν ἀγαθοῖς πρακτέοις·
ἐν σοὶ καὶ μόνῃ ἐν δεινοῖς ἤλπισα σωτηρίαν.
Title(s) Στίχοι πολιτικοὶ εἰς τὴν κυρίαν ἡμῶν δέσποιναν θεοτόκον τὴν μεσίτριαν τῶν χριστιανῶν.
