¶1
Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.
¶2
Rejoicing, thou didst follow after Christ, bearing thine own cross on thy shoulder, O Mary; and thou didst wound the demons.
¶3
Theotokion: Ever beseeching thee, the venerable one gazed upon thine icon, O pure Mistress, and put to shame the assaults of the passions.
¶4
Thou hast shown us the medicine of repentance, and hast indicated also unto us the path which leadeth again to life which perisheth not.
¶5
Be thou for me an invincible helper, O honored one, and deliver me from the passions and from all pain by thine entreaties to the Lord.
