(From the Office of Dawn)

ἐπὶ τοῖς εἰρηκόσι μοὶ·

I When came the call to me, "To God's own house repair," Then I was filled with joy, And sent to heaven my prayer.

II Within the house of God Are fearful wonders wrought;-- There a devouring flame Burns every shameful thought.

III Thou Spirit, Source of life, To Thee all praise we give-- To Father and to Son, In Whom all creatures live.
