Irmos: O Word, with divine vision the prophet perceived Thee Who wast to become incarnate of the Theotokos alone, the mountain overshadowed; and with fear he glorified Thy power.
Thou didst save the ship of thy soul from the passions of the threefold waves of materialism, O venerable father, and didst hasten to the harbor and tranquillity of abstinence.
Theotokion: O Theotokos, hope and intercession for the world, entreat Him Who was incarnate of thee in behalf of thy servants; for having acquired thee as a holy mercy-seat, we are delivered from sin.
Having acquired angelic understanding, in the ecstasy of thy mind thou didst listen to the angels chanting unto the Trinity, O all-praised one.
Armed with thy divine faith as with noetic pebbles, O hierarch, like David thou didst bring down the prideful prince of darkness as he were another Goliath.
