¶1

Irmos: I shall sing to Thee, O Lord my God; for Thou didst lead Thy people forth from the bondage of Egypt, and didst overwhelm the chariots of Pharaoh and his might.

¶2

Theotokion: In that thou wast above all creation, O Virgin, thou didst conceive in thy womb the Creator and God of all and gavest birth to Him for the salvation of men.

¶3

O sacred Symeon, standing, crowned, before the Master, ask thou remission of offenses for those who with love keep thy most sacred memory.

¶4

Fitted with the Cross as a mast, O most glorious hierarch, thou didst truly sail through the storm of deception, propelled by the waters of the Spirit.

¶5

With divine chrism did Christ, Who sprang forth from the tribe of Judah, anoint thee a priest for the people, O sacred Symeon, conversor with the angels.
