Irmos: Beholding the sea of life surging with the tempest of temptations, fleeing to Thy calm haven I cry unto Thee: Lead up my life from corruption, O greatly Merciful One!
Kontakion, in Tone IV: Spec. Mel: “Thou hast appeared...”—
Receiving the rays of the Spirit through revelation, O glorious one, like a mirror thou didst shine splendors of divine prophecy upon the world, prophesying the things of the future as though they were present.
Theotokion: In thy womb the Only-begotten of the Father united Himself to flesh of clay; He Who is One Person in two natures issued forth from thee without corruption, preserving thy pure virginity intact, O most lauded one.
The King hath come! Rejoice and adorn thyself, O Sion, beholding Him! He hath enlightened the world with the brilliant rays of His divinity and hath put the falsehood of the demons to shame!
Thou wast shown to be brilliant by the divine Spirit, O prophet Zephaniah, proclaiming the coming of God: Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Sion! Proclaim Him, O Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh to save mankind!
