Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: The children of Israel in the furnace, shining more brightly than gold in a crucible in the beauty of their piety, said: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord; hymn and exalt Him supremely for all ages!

¶2

Theotokion: Bearing Emmanuel as an infant, the Virgin stood before the Egyptians, to whom Mark is sent like a radiant star, crying aloud: O all ye works of the Lord, hymn and supremely exalt the Lord for all ages!

¶3

Christ, the Word begotten of the Father before all ages, Who clothed Himself in human nature, didst thou preach, O glorious one; and thou didst cry aloud: O all ye works of the Lord, hymn and supremely exalt the Lord for all ages!

¶4

O glorious one, thou didst glorify Christ Who gave Himself as deliverance from our offense and passion and raised up the fallen; and thou didst cry: O all ye works of the Lord, hymn and supremely exalt the Lord for all ages!

¶5

Submitting to the most wise teaching of Peter, O Mark, thou didst most wisely commit to writing the precious Gospel for the faithful who cry out: O all ye works of the Lord, hymn and supremely exalt the Lord for all ages!
