Irmos: We rise at dawn unto Thee, O Christ God, the Dawn of truth Who hast shone forth upon us from the Virgin, and with divine knowledge hast illumined us who are in the darkness of ignorance.
Theotokion: Now let us hold excellent festival, O ye Christian people, proclaiming the Mother of God to be the Virgin who gave birth to the timeless God, our Light and Joy.
Chosen by God as an enlightener for His people, and ordained for them by His all-holy Spirit, thou didst wake their slumbering spirit unto the dawning of His never-waning light.
Irmos: Wherefore hast Thou turned Thy face from me, O Light never-waning? And why hath a strange darkness covered me, wretch that I am? But turn me, and guide my steps to the light of Thy commandments, I pray.
Theotokion: O Virgin Maiden and Mother, who gavest birth in the flesh unto the Unapproachable One! O Bride of God, glory of the angels and wounding of demons: vouchsafe divine healing unto my heart which is wounded by sin.
Ye who are oppressed, remember the Lord in tribulation, and be mindful of the affliction which the holy one endured for the sake of His Savior; for through his mediation your nation shall not perish utterly.
O the majesty of thy holiness, O holy Maximus our father! For through thine instructions zeal laid hold upon an uninstructed people, as saith Isaiah the prophet.
Made rich by the divine Word, thou didst give unto all who asked, O martyr, and as a priest didst shepherd the flock of Christ, chastening and guiding it to salvation, O Eutyches, much-suffering athlete.
Having shaken off soul-destroying delusion through the power of the divine Spirit, thou didst come to Christ, leading to Him multitudes of those saved by faith through thine honored and godly preaching, O Eutyches, adornment of sufferers.
How beautiful are thy feet which walked the path of divine knowledge and trod well therein, and attained unto the broad expanse of the kingdom of heaven, O all-blessed and glorious martyr!
