Come, lovers of festival, let us praise in song the gathering of the Forefathers: Adam the Forefather, Enoch. Noah, Melchisedek, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; after the law Moses and Aaron, Jesus, Samuel and David; with them Isaias, Jeremias, Ezekiel and Daniel, and the Twelve with Elias, Elisaius and them all; Zachary and the Baptist and all who proclaimed Christ, the life and resurrection of our race.

¶3

Both now. Theotokion. The same Tone.

¶4

By the Father’s will without seed you conceived of the Holy Spirit the Son of God, who is from the Father without mother before the ages, but for us he came of you without father; you bore him in the flesh and suckled him as a babe; therefore do not cease to intercede that our souls may be delivered from dangers.

¶5

Apolytikion of the Resurrection.

¶6

You justified the Forefathers by faith, through them betrothing in advance the Church from the nations. The Saints will exult in glory, for from their seed there is a glorious fruit, she who bore you without seed. At their intercessions, Christ God, save our souls.

¶7

Glory. Both now. Of the Forefathers. Tone 2.

¶8
