Irmos: O Thou Who alone hast known the weakness of human nature, having in Thy mercy formed Thyself therein: Thou dost gird me about with power from on high, that I may chant to Thee: Holy is the living temple of Thine ineffable glory, O Thou Who lovest mankind!
Sessional hymn, in Tone III: Spec. Mel.: “Awed by the beauty of thy virginity…”—
Having acquired an adult understanding in thy youth, O glorious George, and surpassed all thy peers in wisdom, guilelessness and humility, thou art called blessed by all the faithful.
Theotokion: The disobedience of Eve our first mother was healed by thine obedience, O all-pure one; for, hearkening unto the words of Gabriel, thou becamest the Mother of the Son of God, Who by His Cross hath transformed her grief into joy.
Thou wast a new confirmation of Orthodoxy, O glorious George, a foundation of piety and the preservation of the faithful, for which cause we praise thee with hymns.
Glory…, Now & ever…: Theotokion, in the same melody—
The city of Serdica hath now acquired thee as a great treasure and an adornment of its Church, O blessed George; and the whole world, hearing of thy contests, rejoiceth and, marvelling at thy struggle, calleth thee blessed.
The Creator made thee comely of countenance and adorned thee within with beauty of soul; but the enemy, unable to endure this, wished to deceive thee and make thee prey for him to devour. Yet the Author of good things invisibly strengthened thee and through thee put the deceiver to shame. Wherefore, joining chorus now in the heavens, O holy George, pray thou to the Lord in behalf of those who glorify thee.
Inconceivable and unapproachable is the awesome mystery of God wrought within thee, O divinely joyous Mistress; for having conceived the Infinite One, thou gavest birth unto Him Who was clad in flesh through thine all-pure blood. With the martyrs ever beseech Him, O all-pure one, that our souls be saved.
