Irmos: O Lord, Bestower of light and Creator of the ages: guide us in the light of Thy commandments, for we know none other God than Thee.
By the burial of Thy flesh thou didst bury him who warreth against us, O Christ, and having as God emptied hell, by Thy resurrection Thou hast resurrected the dead who have glorified Thee.
Theotokion: Rising from the dead, the Well-spring of life Who was incarnate of thee, O Theotokos, hath poured forth life upon human nature and hath, as God, given it to drink of the waters of immortality.
Adorned with wisdom and beauty, thou didst recognize the Master of all creation; wherefore, having suffered for His sake, O Sabbas, thou hast been vouchsafed crowns.
Receiving the mystical gifts of Christ and adorned divinely with His abundant splendor, O glorious one, thou wast shown to be a beacon amid the world.
