The Ninth Ode of the Kanon With Its Katavasia
The Theotokos and Mother of the Light
Honouring with hymns, we magnify
Come, let us with pure souls and blameless lips
Magnify the undefiled and All-pure Mother of Emmanuel
Offering through her, to Him, Who was born of her, this prayer
'Spare our souls, O Christ our God, and save us'
Glory to You our God, glory to You
Showing himself ungrateful, envious, and cunning
Judas calculates the God-worthy Gift
By which a debt of sins was forgiven
And as a knave he exploited the Divine favor
Spare our souls, O Christ our God, and save us
Glory to You our God, glory to You
Going to the lawless rulers, he says
'What will you give me, and I will deliver to you the Christ
Whom you want and seek?' From the closest bond with Christ
Judas is drawn away by gold. Spare our souls, O Christ our God, and save us
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit
Now and ever and to the Ages of Ages. Amen
O blind and implacable avarice!
How is it that you forgot what You have been taught
That you are a soul, whose worth the world does not equal?
For you, O betrayer, in despair hanged yourself by the neck
Spare our souls, O Christ our God, and save us
Come, let us with pure souls and blameless lips magnify the undefiled
And All-pure Mother of Emmanuel, offering through her, to Him
Who was born of her, this prayer: 'Spare our souls
O Christ our God, and save us'
Honouring with hymns, we magnify
Come, let us with pure souls and blameless lips
Magnify the undefiled and All-pure Mother of Emmanuel
Offering through her, to Him, Who was born of her, this prayer
'Spare our souls, O Christ our God, and save us'
Glory to You our God, glory to You
Showing himself ungrateful, envious, and cunning
Judas calculates the God-worthy Gift
By which a debt of sins was forgiven
And as a knave he exploited the Divine favor
Spare our souls, O Christ our God, and save us
Glory to You our God, glory to You
Going to the lawless rulers, he says
'What will you give me, and I will deliver to you the Christ
Whom you want and seek?' From the closest bond with Christ
Judas is drawn away by gold. Spare our souls, O Christ our God, and save us
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit
Now and ever and to the Ages of Ages. Amen
O blind and implacable avarice!
How is it that you forgot what You have been taught
That you are a soul, whose worth the world does not equal?
For you, O betrayer, in despair hanged yourself by the neck
Spare our souls, O Christ our God, and save us
Come, let us with pure souls and blameless lips magnify the undefiled
And All-pure Mother of Emmanuel, offering through her, to Him
Who was born of her, this prayer: 'Spare our souls
O Christ our God, and save us'
