	Σήν, σταυρέ, Χριστὸς ἐκπιεῖν δίκην θέλων
	ἓν δῆθεν εἶχεν ὡς ἀβούλητον πόμα·
	παθὼν με σώζει καὶ θανὼν ζεῖ τὴν κτίσιν.
	Ὁ προσπαγεὶς δὲ σαρκί τούτῳ τῷ τύπῳ
	Θεός σέσωκεν ἐξ ᾅδου δεσμῶν λύσας
	τοῦ προσκυνεῖν σου τὸ κράτος σεσωσμένος.
	Ὦ πατρικὸν φῶς, ὦ τρισήλιον κράτος,
	ὦ τρισσοφεγγὲς λαμπάς, ὦ ζωηφόρε,
	ὦ τρισμέγιστον τῆς θεαρχίας σέλας,
	φρούρει, σκέπε τὸν πόθῳ κτησάμενόν με.
	Ἀμήν· γένοιτο εἰς ἅπαντά μου χρόνον.
