Supplicatory Canon to Christ — Odes IV–IX

Refrain: O sweetest Jesus, save us.Heal, O my Jesus, the wounds of my soul, O my Jesus, I pray, and snatch me from the hand of soul-corrupting Belial, O my compassionate Jesus, and save me.I have sinned, O my sweetest Jesus; O Compassionate One, O my Jesus, save me who flee to Thy protection, O my Jesus, have mercy and deliver me from eternal fire, as Thou alone art plenteous in mercy.Enlighten, O Jesus, the eyes of my heart, O my Jesus, with the light of Thy knowledge, O Jesus, directing my steps in the way of Thy commandments, as Thou alone art plenteous in mercy.Having heard, O my Jesus, the voice of me Thy servant, O my Saviour Jesus, and loosed the bond of my sins, O Jesus, raise up my fallen soul, O my Saviour Jesus, as Thou alone art plenteous in mercy.(Each Ode ends with a Theotokion and is followed by the sessional hymn or kontakion.)
