Irmos: The bow of the mighty is become weak, and the strengthless have girded themselves with power; wherefore, my heart is established in the Lord.
Sessional hymn, in Tone IV: Spec. Mel.: “Thou hast appeared…”—
Theotokion: All the rules of praises are annulled in thee, O most immaculate Theotokos; for through thee did God become man for our sake, as we know.

Glory…, Now & ever…: from the Pentecostarion, or this Theotokion—
Thou didst shine forth the dawn upon those in darkness, showing forth the Sun of righteousness Who shone forth upon men from the cloud who is the Virgin Maiden.
Thou didst despise the pleasures of the world, O father, becamest the magnificent adornment of hierarchs, and wast vouchsafed heavenly glory by thy suffering.

Stretching forth thine all-pure hands, O Virgin Mother, cover those who trust in thee and cry to thy Son: Bestow Thy mercies upon all, O Christ!
Stavrotheotokion—
Beholding thy Son uplifted upon the Tree, O all-pure one, thou didst cry out in grief, thy maternal womb rent with pain: “Woe is me! How hast Thou set, O my timeless Light?”
