¶1
Irmos: Waking at dawn, we cry to Thee: Save us, O Lord! For Thou art our God, and we know none other than Thee.
¶2
Theotokion: We hymn thee, O Theotokos, as a Virgin after giving birth; for thou gavest birth for the world unto the Word in the flesh.
¶3
Having borne the heat of the day, O glorious and venerable one, thou wast accounted worthy of the joy of thy Lord.
¶4
Thou didst bud forth the sweet smelling lily of the valley of abstinence, rendering the ends of the earth fragrant with exhalations of the knowledge of God.
¶5
Fortifying with humility, O father, thou didst cast down to the ground the serpent who greatly boasted in the beginning.
