¶1

Irmos: I have heard report of Thee, O Lord, for Thou hast appeared upon the earth to save us. Wherefore, we cry: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!

To Thy prophet, O Christ, Thou didst reveal the animate house, pleasing to Thee, which came forth from the Virgin. And with him we cry: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!

Theotokion: Thou didst turn the curse of Adam into a blessing, O Mistress, giving birth to Christ for us. To Him do we cry: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!

Thou hast gathered to Thee all the rejected ones, O Lord, freeing us from slavery to the enemy, as the God-pleasing prophet saith.

¶5

The salvation of the nations which would come afterwards didst Thou reveal to Thy prophet, O Christ, who crieth out to Thee: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!
