Let our Lord, the Christ, be magnified
according to the Psalmist's declaration.
In Him, forever saved, we will abide
in joys eternal, without least cessation.
We have been, often and sorely, tried
by subtle worldly and carnal temptation.
But Jesus Christ, our Lord, has sanctified
us to and for our sacred destination.
In faith, His promises are verified.
I testify herein and well assured:
He is our souls' delight and exultation
and I have found such.spiritual delectation:
the Joy of the Orthodox Church's Faith, the Common Salvation,
which is and shall always be my soul's chiefest exultation
among the redeemed, the Orthodox Church, that great congregation,
wherein my Prayer Rope finds its starward inclination.
Starward, an Orthodox Christian
