Thanks to God who shares your earthly rule
We thank God, most mighty emperor, who shares the earthly kingdom with you — who through you abolished the error of idols and set the faithful in bold, cheerful freedom. The reek of demons has ceased; the cults of Greek polytheism are dissolved; the darkness of ignorance is driven off; the world is lit by the light of knowing God. The Father is glorified; the Son is worshipped with him; the Holy Spirit is proclaimed; a consubstantial Trinity — one Godhead in three persons and hypostases — is preached.
Greek
Εὐχαριστοῦμεν Θεῷ, κράτιστε βασιλεῦ, τῷ τὴν ἐπίγειον συνθύνοντί σοι βασιλείαν· τῷ τὴν πλάνην τῶν εἰδώλων διὰ σοῦ καταργήσαντι, καὶ τῶν πιστῶν καταστήσαντι ἐν παῤῥησίᾳ τὸν εὔθυμον. Πέπαυται κνίσσα δαιμόνων· καταλέλυται πολυθεΐας Ἑλληνικῆς τὰ σεβάσματα· τὸ τῆς ἀγνωσίας ἀπελαύνεται σκότος· τῷ τῆς θεογνωσίας φωτὶ ἡ οἰκουμένη καταυγάζεται· Πατὴρ δοξολογεῖται· Υἱὸς συμπροσκυνεῖται· τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον καταγγέλλεται· Τριὰς ὁμοούσιος, μία 676 θεότης ἐν τρισὶ προσώποις καὶ ὑποστάσεσι κηρύττεται.
