Image of ʾIyyasus Moʾa

Now, I marvel at the grace of the Virgin and her Son. Your beloved, I shall complete your hymn, a flower of grace. ʾIyyasus Moʾa, Paul for the Church, a friend. Erase from me the book of sins and debts. You would erase before the name of the friend Judah. Salutation to the memory of your name, proclaimed in the evening, which is abundant. For the name of ʾIyyasu the Judge, the tongue of Israel that praised him. ʾIyyasus Moʾa, a sun for the darkness that you illuminate. For the word of my mouth, from its midst, release it. And the land of your praise, may it acquire the abundance of Abiye. Salutation to the hair of your head, which was praised by him. For the Lord God the Son, a good crown, his desire. ʾIyyasus Moʾa, a staff for the belly of my appetite and the mother of falsehood. In the hand of the prophet, for a measure of three years. As for the rain, its windows were blocked. Salutation to your tomb, which is called the Sanctuary. Which is the house of Stephen the deacon. ʾIyyasus Moʾa, tell me that I may cover you with truth. With me, be steadfast in resurrection within the grave and we shall go out. Until my brothers are separated from the West and the East.

By the number of the fast, forty, and by the number of the words, six. The price of all your images, my lips, and their praise. ʾIyyasus Moʾa, the righteous one, by whom one is healed. Tell me, for the word of the Father, his spirit is mingled with you. As the grace of Moses was mingled with the staff of ʾIyyasu. Salutation to you, ʾIyyasus Moʾa, our father, begetter of thousands of children, in the gathering of prayer and fasting in the midst of the enclosure, which is called the Garden of Righteousness. Salutation to you, ʾIyyasus Moʾa, blessed one, in the kingdom of Christ the Lord, from dawn until evening, a zealous one of the countenance of an angel. Salutation to you, ʾIyyasus Moʾa, intercessor before the Lord at this his altar. The children of the faith, your people, who are assembled, that they may rise from your grace. Salutation to you, I offer to you here, ʾIyyasus Moʾa, before the assembly of the sanctuary, hymns of praise with a harp, by the number of the ears, twelve.
