Eccleseastical hymn

Lyrics

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
Now and ever, and to the Ages of Ages. Amen.


The Hymn of Kassiani
4th Plagal Mode. 8th Mode.

The woman who had fallen into many sins, perceiving Your Divinity, O Lord, assumes the role of a myrrh-bearer; and lamenting, she brings the myrrh before Your burial. "Woe to me!" she said; "Forme, night is an ecstasy of excess, dark and moonless, and full of sinful desire. Receive the sources of my tears, You, Who gathers into clouds the water of the sea. Incline the groanings of my heart, You, Who in Your ineffable condescension, bowed down the Heavens.
I will embrace and kiss Your sacred Feet, and wipe them again with the tresses of the hair of my head. Your Feet, at whose sound Eve hid herself in fear, when she heard Your footsteps while You were walking in Paradise in the twilight. O my Saviour and soul-Saver! Who can ever track down the multi­tude of my sins, and the depths of Your judgment? Do not disregard me Your servant, You, Whose mercy is boundless".

Translated by Father Yeorgios L. Papadeas  

Original Lyrics

Το Δοξαστικό των Αποστίχων, ποίημα Κασσιανής μοναχής

Δόξα Πατρί και Υιώ καί Αγίω Πνεύματι.
Καί νυν και αεί και εις τους αιώνας των αιώνων. Αμήν.

Ιδιόμελον. Ήχος πλ. δ'.
Ποίημα Κασσιανής Μοναχής

Κύριε η εν πολλαίς αμαρτίες περιπεσούσα Γυνή, την σην αισθομένη Θεότητα, μυροφόρου αναλαβούσα τάξιν, οδυρομένη μύρα σοι, προ του ενταφιασμού κομίζει. Οίμοι! λέγουσα, ότι νυξ μοι υπάρχει, οίστρος ακολασίας, ζοφώδης τε και ασέληνος, έρως της αμαρτίας. Δέξαι μου τας πληγάς των δακρύων, ο νεφέλαις διεξάγων της θαλάσσας το ύδωρ· κάμφθητί μοι προς τους στεναγμούς της καρδίας, ο κλίνας τους Ουρανούς, τη αφάτω σου κενώσει· καταφιλήσω τους αχράντους σου πόδας, αποσμήξω τούτους δε πάλιν, τοις της κεφαλής μου βοστρύχους· ων εν τω Παραδείσω Εύα το δειλινόν, κρότον τοις ωσίν ηχηθείσα, τω φόβω εκρύβη. Αμαρτιών μου τα πλήθη, και κριμάτων σου αβύσσους τις εξιχνιάσει, ψυχοσώστα Σωτήρ μου; Μη με την σην δούλην παρίδης, ο αμέτρητον έχων το έλεος.
