Irmos: There is none as holy as Thee, O Lord my God, Who hast uplifted the horn of Thy faithful and established us on the rock of the confession of Thee, O Good One.
Sessional hymn, in Tone V—
Theotokion: Unable to endure seeing the creation of His own hands tormented by the father of lies, the Lord, incarnate of thee, O Mistress, cometh in the guise of a servant to deliver the human race.
We celebrate thee now in this temple, O thou of great renown, who madest thyself a temple of the Creator of all by purifying thy heart of all defilement of flesh and spirit.
Glory…, Now & ever…: Theotokion—
Possessed of life-bearing mortification on earth, O divinely wise one, thou didst adorn thy soul with dispassion, and didst vanquish the attacks of temptations by the grace of God.
From thy youth thou didst strive to glorify God with the splendid corrections of thy life, O right glorious one; wherefore, God hath glorified thee with divers gifts.
Like a divinely flowing torrent pouring forth healings upon the infirm, O wondrous one, thou didst raise up the brother of the silversmith from his mortal illness and didst heal one possessed by demons.
The children of Sion rejoice today in thy memory, O holy hierarch Modestus, having found thee to be the fervent helper of widows and orphans and an intercessor for all; wherefore, we beseech thee: Entreat Christ God, that He grant remission of transgressions unto those who celebrate thy holy memorial.
Let heaven rejoice! Let earth and men be glad! For He Who is incorporeal becometh incarnate, and He Who is without beginning now taketh on a beginning! O the wonder! The cave and the manger receive Him Who holdeth all things, for the restoration of the world and the salvation of our souls.
