on Behalf of the Desecration of the Temple
of Hagia Sophia,
in Much-Coveted Constantinople
Mode pl. 1. The co-beginningless Word.
Hasten to banish the desecrating horde,
from Your most-beautiful Temple
of Hagia Sophia, which
brilliantly adorns, Savior,
renowned Constantinople unto the ages,
and find us worthy,
who, alas, lie in sin,
to glorify You within It
without ceasing, Lord.
The least of suppliants,
Dr. Haralambos M. Bousias
Great Hymnographer of the Church of Alexandria
Ἦχος πλ. α΄. Τὸν συνάναρχον Λόγον.
Τὰ μολύνοντα στίφη Ναόν σου πάγκαλον,
τῆς Σῆς Ἁγίας Σοφίας,
κοσμοῦντα, Σῶτερ, λαμπρῶς
εἰς αἰῶνας τὴν κλεινὴν Κωνσταντινούπολιν,
πόῤῥω ἐκδίωξον ταχὺ
καὶ ἀξίωσον ἡμᾶς,
τούς, οἴμοι, ἐν ἁμαρτίαις
κειμένους, δοξολογεῖν Σε
ἔνδον Αὐτοῦ ἀπαύστως, Κύριε.
Ἐλάχιστος ἱκέτης,
