¶1
Irmos: Grant me a robe of light, O Thou Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, O most merciful Christ our God.
¶2
The most Holy Spirit found a dwelling-place within thee, driving out legions of evil spirits by thy prayers.
¶3
Theotokion: God the Word, the Word Who shone forth eternally from the Father didst thou ineffably conceive within time in thy womb, O Ever-virgin.
¶4
Thou wast shown to be a river of tranquillity and a stream of meekness, from whence we are watered with a torrent of sweetness, O venerable father.
¶5
Having mortified the pleasures of the flesh, thou didst live according to the Spirit, O glorious one. Do thou also raise me up who have fallen through the passions.
