Irmos: It is not possible for men to behold God, upon Whom the ranks of angels dare not gaze; but through thee, O most pure one, hath the Word appeared incarnate unto men; and magnifying Him with the armies of heaven, we call thee blessed.
Thou madest thine abode in the land of the meek, where, since thy repose, thou beholdest the splendors of the angels, O most wise Zephaniah, prophet of God, shining with grace in that thou art meek. Wherefore, rejoicing, we, the faithful, call thee blessed.
Theotokion: No other like thee hath ever been given us from generations of old, O most immaculate Mother of God; for thou, alone of all, hast incomparable sanctity and purity. Wherefore, thou didst receive within thyself the incarnate God.
Radiantly beholding the fulfillment of thy prophecies, O all-glorious one, we marvel at the grace given thee and the purity of thy mind, and we are struck with wonder by thy soul, O godly one.
