We are enflam’d when only hearing that everlasting light is there, there our life’s fount, and there eternal joy: the paradise is there where every soul rejoiceth with the just. We all in Christ shall gather’d be, that so to God we all may cry the _Alleluia_. All-holy Virgin, thou unwedded one, who didst bring forth th’ approachless light, I pray, entreaty make, and beg, Cease not to pray the Lord concerning him, thy sleeping servant, thou most pure, that in the day of judgment he may find forgiveness there; for thou, as Queen all pure, to pray thy Son hast always boldness. _Alleluia_. _Then again the condakion._ Rest with the Saints, O Christ.... _Page 188._ _Ode vii. Irmos._ Narrateless wonder.... As being pitiful, O Christ, deliver him, thy servant, whom thou in faith received hast, from fearful doom, and from gehenna’s fire, and to thy servant grant to sing to thee, Blessed art thou, redeemer, God. Within the land of gentle ones, and in delights of paradise, in glory’s wondrous dwelling-place, thy servant faithfully asleep esteeming worthy, God, do thou grant him to sing to thee, Blessed art thou, redeemer, God. _Glory._ Great is the doom and undescribable the need, O brethren, in gehenna; for the souls of sinners there are burned with their bodies, and in anguish weep, unable to exclaim, Blessed art thou, redeemer, God. _Both now._ Them that undoubtingly thee praise, O Mother of God, thou altogether undefil’d God-bearing one, when living by thy prayers for ever guard, and when departed free from bitter torment, that they with thee to Christ may say, Blessed art thou, redeemer, God. _Ode viii. Irmos._ Fearingly quake, O heaven.... O what dread hour awaiteth sinners, brethren! O what terror then! gehenna’s fire consumes, and shall eternally torment. Therefore, O Christ, compassionate Lord, deliver him departed now from us from fearful threatening, and snatch him from gehenna’s pains eternally. Oh, of the just the joy which they receive when comes the judge! for them the bridal-chamber is prepar’d, and paradise, and all Christ’s kingdom; and there thy servant, Christ, make manifest rejoicing with the Saints eternally. _Glory._ Who shall endure the fearful menace of thy presence, Christ? the heavens thereat roll’d up shall be as is a scroll in fearful wise, the stars shall fall, and all creation shake with fear, and changed be the light; but then, O Word, spare him whom thou removed hast from us. _Both now. Theotokion._ Him whom thou gavest flesh in supernatural wise, O pure, even the Son, he is the judge of living and of dead, and judgeth all the earth, and saves from torment whom he wills, and them especially who in types adore him lovingly, and thee, God-bearing one, extol eternally.
