Hymns From The Greek Office Books
Troparia
{eleeson hemas, kyrie heleeson hemas}
_Euchologion_, p. 35
I
O destitute of all defence,
We bow before Thee now;
In mercy let Thy mercy come,
For merciful art Thou.
II
Our trusting souls in quiet repose
Would rest Thy love within;--
O be not angry with us, Lord,
Nor think upon our sin.
III
But from Thy high abode look down,
With tender love the while,
And save us from our foes who would
Our wayward hearts beguile.
IV
For, verily Thou art our God,
And we Thy people all;--
Hear us, the creatures of Thy hand,
When on Thy name we call.
V
To God the Father, God the Son,
All praise and glory be;
And to the Spirit, Three in One,
To all eternity.
Stichera Idiomela
{en tais aulais sou hymneso se}
_Pentecostarian_, p. 186
I
Within Thy courts my praise shall rise,
O Saviour of the world, to Thee;
And while I bow, will lift mine eyes,
Unconquered Might, Thy face to see;
At eve, at morn, at noon, alway,
All blessing Lord, to Thee I'll pay.
II
Here in Thy courts, O Lord, we bow,
And soul and body worship give;
Hear us, Thy faithful servants now,
Eternal God in Whom we live;
And Thou the Unbeginning Son,
And Holy Spirit Three in One.
Sticheron Idiomelon
(From the Order of the Burial of Priests)
{rheustoi pos gegonamen, aphtharton eikona phoresantes}
_Euchologion_, p. 467
I
Why do we fade?
Who Thine own image bear,
Who life immortal share,--
Why do we fade?
II
Why did we err?
And leave the food of life,
To eat the bread of strife,--
Why did we err?
