Ode 6. Irmos. Watching life’s sea.

Ode 7. Irmos.An Angel made the furnace moist with dew.

Receiving the beams of the Spirit, glorious Prophet, as a clear mirror you blazed forth the rays of inspired prophecy to the world, foretelling things to come as things present.

Your King has come; Sion rejoice and exult at seeing him; he has enlightened the world with the beams of his Godhead and destroyed the error of demons.

United to the solidity of flesh in your womb, the Only-Begotten of the Father came forth, one from two, without corruption, and kept your virginity unharmed, O All-praised.

Watching life’s sea rising with a tempest of temptations, fleeing to your calm haven, I cry out to you: Bring my life up from corruption, O Most Merciful.

Your memory, inspired Prophet, has dawned for the world like a sun, making radiant with the grace of your Prophecy those who with faith harmoniously sing to Christ: Blessed are you, the God of our Fathers.

Revealed as more abundant than a cloud, blest prophet, you sent forth for us a shower of saving knowledge of God from sources through which we are enlightened to cry out: Blessed are you, the God of our Fathers.

The Word, who of old gave being to all things by his divine will, Pure Virgin, willing to call back humanity, made his dwelling in your womb, O Blessed One, who bore God in the flesh.
