The Canon of the Saint, of which the acrostic is:

I sing you, golden mouth of the Spirit. By Theophanes. ****

Ode 1. Tone 8. Moses’ wonderworking staff.

As you became a most fervent herald of repentance, Father Chrysostom, intercede with God that I may repent with my whole heart and implore that I may be cleansed of the wounds of ancient falls by your compassion.

Having received the whole radiance of the Holy Spirit, venerable Father, you appeared as a pillar all of light guiding the Church, and a cloud of light overshadowing the companies of the Orthodox, O all-blessed.

Chosen by Christ as a Teacher, with your tongue of gold and your mind inspired by God you became a rich source of divine teachings; for you appeared as a river of God, full of the waters of the Spirit, Chrysostom, revealer of God.

Adorned with the adornment of grace, O blessed one, graced by God, you gave birth to the Word of the Father, become flesh through ineffable compassion beyond mind and beyond reason, yet you remained a Virgin undefiled.

I will open my mouth. ****
