¶1

Irmos: Waking at dawn, we cry to Thee: Save us, O Lord! For Thou art our God, and we know none other than Thee.

¶2

The divine grace which abode within thee, O God-bearer, showed thee to be a most faithful pastor of the Church.

¶3

Theotokion: As an all-holy temple, thou gavest birth to the Well-spring of dispassion, O most immaculate Virgin Mother.

¶4

Having mortified the wisdom and passions of thy flesh, O glorious one, thou didst follow the Spirit of life.

Having achieved the end of thy life in chastity and righteousness, O divinely wise one, thou hast received reward for thy virtues.
