Irmos: Heaven was stricken with awe, and the ends of the earth were amazed, that God hath appeared in the flesh, and that thy womb became more spacious than the heavens. Wherefore, the ranks of men and angels magnify thee as the Theotokos.
Standing immaterially before the Immaterial One, thou didst splendidly theologize Him Who is, essentially and co-essentially, the Creator and Lord of all, the Word and Wisdom of the Father. Cease thou never to pray that He save those who with faith praise thee, O divinely eloquent one.
Theotokion: O Theotokos, as thou art good, grant that I may safely pass through the storm of life, and quell the assaults of temptations and passions, leading me to virtue and the right path, that I may unceasingly magnify thee as my benefactor.
The good and Holy Spirit, beholding thee exerting thyself in spiritual labors and zealously contending for Him against those who fight against Him, crowned thee as a victor and, receiving thee as is meet, hath enrolled thee among the choirs on high, O most blessed one.
Having completed the contests of piety, having finished the best of races and taught the Orthodox Faith most piously, thou didst receive a crown of righteousness from the Creator of all, O divinely eloquent one, sending forth a hymn of hymns from the Council of teachers.
