Triodion - Arvo Part

Introduction In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen Ode I - O Jesus the Son of God, Have Mercy upon Us. We do homage to Thy pure image, O Good One, entreating forgiveness of our transgressions, O Christ our God: for of Thine own good will Thou wast graciously pleased to ascend the Cross in the flesh, that Thou mightest deliver from bondage to the enemy those whom Thou hadst fashioned. For which cause we cry aloud unto Thee with thanksgiving; with joy has Thou filled all things, O our Saviour, in that Thou didst come to save the world. Ode II - O Most Holy Birth-giver of God, Save Us Unto the Birth-giver of God let us sinners and humble ones now diligently have recourse; and let us fall down in penitence exclaiming, from the bottom of our souls; O Sovereign Lady, help us, having compassion on us! Show zeal, for we perish with the multitude of our sins; turn not Thy servants away empty; for we have Thee as our only hope. O Most Holy Birth-giver
