Irmos: O Lord, Fashioner of the vault of heaven and Creator of the Church: establish me in Thy love, O Summit of desire, confirmation of the faithful, Who alone lovest mankind.
Sessional hymn, in Tone VIII—
Theotokion: Truly the Lord reigneth in the kingdom which will never fall. Through thee, O Mother of God, hath He clothed Himself in holy flesh as in beauteous splendor, as saith the psalmist; and therein hath He accepted death and destroyed its kingdom.
Thou wast shown to be a beacon of light, O most blessed Alexander, ever dispelling the profound darkness of infirmities with the brilliant rays of thy miracles, O all-wise one.
Glory…, Now & ever…: Theotokion—
Rejoicing, thou standest before the throne of grace today with all the angels, spreading a wealth of healing upon the world. Save us all by thy supplications, O blessed one!
Assembling, let us fittingly praise the pious and crownèd Alexander, as the generous bestower of miracles, who entreateth the Lord in behalf of us all.
Thou hast been shown to be a star of surpassing brilliance because of thy splendid life, in that thou hast become a vessel of the Holy Spirit. Wherefore, after many years in the grave, thy holy relics were found to be incorrupt, and from them thou pourest forth rivers of miraculous healings upon those who cry out with faith: Rejoice, O right-believing Great Prince Alexander! Twice
Behold! generations of generations glorify thee, as thou didst foretell, O Maiden. For thou wast the palace and divine temple of the Creator of all, wherein the Most High made His abode and clothed Himself in flesh, that He might save us.
