St. Nerses the Gracious (Shnorhali) also wrote a very long prayer in verse, entitled
Jesus the Son. Here are the opening lines:
Jesus, the only-begotten Son of the Father,
And the Ray of the Appearance;
Thou, ineffable offspring of the Archetype,
Inseperable from thy Begetter;
Thou, by whom all beings are created:
The intelligible who are unseen;
The disembodied, and the embodied;
The irrational, as with the rational;
The living things, that grow;
And the lifeless, that do not move:
All these offer thanksgiving
Unto thy loving Father and unto thee;
And unto thy coexistent Spirit
Are proffered exaltations on high
From the elect ones most pure
That are admitted unto thine abode.
Receive me also with them, O Lord,
I who have disobeyed the commandment;
I who am like unto the prodigal son,
And the waster of thy Father's goods;
Who ignored the honour that came from thee,
And became the equal unto the brainless one,
I who graze the herd of swine
in the field of demons;
I who am famished, not of hunger for bread,
But to hear thy word, O Lord,
Ardently desiring carob,
the bitterest among the sweet sins.
