While the glorious Disciples - Pl. 4th Mode, Dedes

Apolytikion of Holy Thursday. Chanted on Holy Wednesday evening.
Chanted in Plagal 4th mode from Ga (F). This uses the diatonic scale.
Composed by Fr. Seraphim Dedes, whose music for this hymn is available under Holy Wednesday Matins on the GOA DCS.
While the glorious Disciples were being illumined at the washing of the feet during the Supper, then, too, did Judas the ungodly one, succumb to darkness, being sick with avarice. And he delivered You, the righteous Judge, to lawless judges. Look here, O lover of money, and see the one who for money's sake hanged himself. Flee from the greed that made him dare commit such a deed against the Teacher. O Lord benevolent to all, glory be to You. (3)
