	Βάτε, κλίμαξ, γέφυρα, τοῦ Θεοῦ πύλη,
	κλίνη, κιβωτός, τιμία λαβίς, πόκος,
	πάγχρυσος παστὰς καὶ πυρίμορφος θρόνος.
	Ἄρουρα βλαστήσασα τὸν ζωῆς στάχυν,
	ὦ πλὰξ θεοχάρακτε, Ἐδὲμ χωρίον,
	μάννα τὸ θεῖον, ἀκατάψυκτε δρόσε,
	τῶν Χερουβὶμ καὶ Σεραφὶμ ὑπερτέρα
	πάσης βλάβης ῥῦσαί με τὸν σὸν οἰκέτην
	Μιχαὴλ τὸν ταπεινὸν εὐτελέστατον λάτρην.
