Ode 3. Irmos.

‘God without passions, though Lord and Creator of all things, you made yourself poor by uniting to yourself that which is created, and to the streams to which you were yourself about to come, to the peoples you cried out: Draw the water of life, and you will be established in the faith’.

You are coming, Saviour, to bestow the grace of Baptism, which delivers both souls and bodies; and so you now award us grace for grace as you cry: Draw the water of life, and you will be established in the faith.

Senseless man who knows not God; for he is destroyed by unnatural habits, he falls short of every good, and falls from every salvation; may we all, who know Christ, be delivered from his lot.
