115 FROM THE CANON OF THE DEAD
Ode VIII
σταθερῶς τοὺς ἀγῶνας ἐπιδειξάμενοι
Euchologion, p. 412
tr., John Brownlie
8.8.8.8.8.8
I Who toiled for Christ through suffering sore, And meekly grief and anguish bore; And in their service steadfast strove, To serve the Master Whom they love,-- Now rest in His eternal peace, Through ages that shall never cease. | II Who toil as they, and faithful prove The servants of the Lord they love, When toil is o'er and suffering past, Enter the bliss of heaven at last,-- And rest in His eternal peace, Through ages that shall never cease. | |
