Ode 6. Irmos.

You rescued the prophet from the whale; bring me up, Lord, from the deep of sins and save me.

There is no sin in life that I alone have not committed; O alone without sin, take pity on me.

Let us be winged with the sail of eagerness and saving repentance, that we may all press ahead and be saved.

Of the Martyrs.

All creation is made bright with the struggles of Preachers, Apostles and Martyrs; through them enlighten us, O Lover of mankind.

Let us all honour the Martyrs as the vessels that contain the beam of the divine and holy outpouring of light.

Virgin, the defence of believers, entreat the Lord that your servants may be delivered from every sin.

Of the Bodiless Powers.

The chosen companies of the Angels, sacredly adorned, representing the manifestations of divinity, are radiant with light-giving lamps.

You conceived, O Immaculate, the Creator and God of all things, whom the Angels, as they stand rejoicing before him with all reverence, look on with trembling.
