Irmos: Cleanse me, O Savior, for many are my transgressions; and lead me up from the abyss of evils, I pray, for to Thee have I cried, and Thou hast hearkened to me, O God of my salvation.
Kontakion, in Tone VI—
Thou didst dry up the torrents of heresies and didst open wellsprings of right dogmas, O divinely wise champion of Orthodoxy, who art blessed of God.
Theotokion: The utterances of the prophets, heralding thine all-pure conceiving and thine ineffable birthgiving, illumine the souls of those who hymn thee in Orthodox manner, O Bride of God.
Having caused the turbid and godless stream of Arius to wither up, thou didst give the assemblies of the faithful to drink of the waters of grace in abundance, and hast adorned the majesty of the Church.
Living rightly by divine principles, O father, thou becamest an all-radiant husbandman, an undistorted mirror of piety, and a guide for pastors.
Fearing the boldness of thy spirit, the apostate Macedonius fleeth; but we, thy servants, celebrating a service of prayer to thee, have recourse to thee with love, O Meletius, converser with angels, fiery sword of Christ our God, who cuttest down all the ungodly; and we hymn thee as a beacon enlightening all.
