¶1

Irmos: O Lord Who by divine knowledge brought the ends of the earth into the light out of the night of ignorance, enlighten me with the dawning of Thy love for mankind.

¶2

All of us, knowing thee as a tower of purity and key of chastity, O ever-memorable one, receive mercy through thy supplications.

¶3

Theotokion: Having conceived the Master of heaven in thy womb, O all-immaculate one, thou wast higher than the heavens and all creation.

¶4

Thou wast arrayed in priestly rank by godly foresight when the immaculate Virgin summoned thee thereto as one blameless.

¶5

Possessed of the compassion of mercy planted within thee and ever dwelling with thee, thou wast a producer of abundant food for the poor.
