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

Glory..., Now and ever..., in the same tone: Idiomelon—

Following the words of the divine Gabriel, we cry out to thee: Rejoice, O pure one! Therefore, O all-holy Mother of the Lord, having passed over to Him, be thou mindful of those who hymn thee.

Troparion of the Prophet, in Tone II—

Glory..., Now and ever..., Troparion of the Dormition, in Tone I—

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

Through the Holy Spirit, the immeasurable Wisdom of God made of thee a temple for Himself, in manner past understanding, O Theotokos; and now He hath brought thee over to the immaterial mansions of heaven, O all-hymned one.

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

A servant, I now approach thee, the Mother of the God of all, praying that I may be delivered from all temptations. O Theotokos, who reignest with thy Son, preserve thou the Christian race.

When the repose of thine all-pure body drew nigh, the apostles, standing about thy bed, looked upon thee with trembling; and they, gazing at thy body, were seized with awe. And Peter cried aloud to thee, weeping: O Virgin, I behold thee clearly stretched out, the life of all, and I am amazed, for in thy body the Delight of the life to come made His abode! O all-pure one, earnestly entreat thy Son and God, that thy flock be saved unharmed.

Celebrating the memory of Thy prophet Samuel, O Lord, through him we beseech Thee: save Thou our souls!

In giving birth thou didst preserve thy virginity, and in thy dormition thou hast not forsaken the world, O Theotokos. Thou wast translated to life, as the Mother of Life; and by thy supplications thou deliverest our souls from death.
