Irmos: Whirled about in the abyss of sin, I call upon the unfathomable abyss of Thy loving-kindness: Lead me up from corruption, O God!
Kontakion, in Tone II: Spec. Mel: “Seeking the highest...”—
Blessed hope didst thou receive, O most blessed father, being heir to the blessedness of thy Master and divine radiance.
Theotokion: I flee now to thee, O all-pure one. Save thou and preserve me by thine entreaties; for whatsoever thou desirest, that canst thou do, in that thou art the Mother of the Almighty.
Possessed of radiant twofold lamps—of thy confession and fasting—thou madest thy dwelling in the heavens, O God-bearer Nicetas who art most rich.
Delighting now in unending and divine sweetness in the heavenly mansions, O father, entreat the Master and Lord of all in our behalf.
Having acquired a heavenly mind and life, thou shinest forth as brightly as the sun in the splendor of thy deeds, and enlightenest those who are in the darkness of life, O father Nicetas, leading all to God. Pray thou unceasingly in behalf of us all.
