At the aposticha, these stichera, in Tone VI: Spec. Mel.: “On the third day…”—

Following the words of the divine Gabriel, we cry to thee: Rejoice, O pure one! And do thou, O all-holy Mother of the Lord, be mindful of those who hymn thee as thou art translated unto Him.

Stichos: Arise, O Lord, into Thy rest, Thou and the ark of Thy holiness.

Through the Holy Spirit, the immeasurable wisdom of God hath of thee fashioned for Himself a temple past understanding, O Theotokos, and now hath translated thee to the immaterial mansions, O most lauded one.

Stichos: The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David, and He will not annul it.

A slave, I now approach thee, the Mother of the God of all, praying to be delivered from all dangers. O Theotokos who reignest with thy Son, preserve thou the Christian race!

Glory…, Now & ever…, the composition of Germanus, in Tone III—

Come, all ye ends of the earth, let us praise the honored repose of the Mother of God; for she hath placed her immaculate soul in the hands of her Son. Wherefore, the world, having found life through her holy dormition, doth celebrate it splendidly in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, with the incorporeal ones and the apostles.
