TROPARIA
(From the Canon for Apocreos)
Ode III
ho kurios erchetai
Triodion, p.20
tr., John Brownlie
6.7.6.7
I
When Christ the Lord shall come,
Who unashamed shall greet Him?
Be ready, thou my soul,
And go thou forth to meet Him.
II
When anger clouds Thy face,
How shall I then adore Thee?
In mercy spare me Lord,
When bowed with grief before Thee.
III
To Thee my cry ascends,
O God, in mercy save me;
And when Thy judgment comes,
Let not my sins enslave me.
