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.
Glory..., Now and ever..., Theotokion—
Sessional hymn, in Tone VI: Spec. Mel: “The portals of compassion...”—
He Who, as God, seeth all things, O blessed and right wondrous one, in godly manner manifestly revealeth and showeth to thee knowledge of the future and awareness of what is to be.
Theotokion: Behold, with faith all generations call thee blessed who, in manner transcending nature, gavest birth in the flesh within time unto the timeless Word, yet remained a virgin still.
Having strengthened thy mind with the boldness of piety, O blessed one, thou didst bow thyself down to the divine Spirit and there didst receive divine inspirations.
Having cleansed thy mind of defilement, O most wise one, thou didst make it a divine mirror reflecting the rays of the Spirit of God; and now, rejoicing, hast departed unto the Source of effulgence, O Prophet Zephaniah.
Groaning from my heart and inmost parts do I offer thee, O all-immaculate one, asking thine aid, which is accompanied by good. Have mercy upon my greatly suffering soul. Move thou the most merciful God to pity, that He deliver me from damnation and the lake of fire, O thou who alone art blessed.
Or this Stavrotheotokion—
The ever-virgin Maiden who gave birth unto Thee, O Christ, beholding Thee suspended upon the Cross for our sake, was wounded heart and soul by the sword of grief, and wept, lamenting maternally. By her supplications have mercy upon us, O Merciful One.
