Irmos: Christ, the Chief Cornerstone uncut by human hands, Who united the two disparate natures, was cut from thee, the unquarried mountain, O Virgin. Wherefore, in gladness we magnify thee, O Theotokos.
Desiring to possess the life of heaven alone, O athletes, with great wisdom ye spurned that which is transitory and corrupt; and now ye enjoy a higher and blessed sweetness.
Theotokion: As Mother of the only Master, O Virgin Mary, thou hast surpassed all other creatures. Wherefore, all of us, the faithful, rejoicing, now magnify thee in gladness, O most immaculate one.
Standing before the wellspring of effulgence, O glorious martyrs, ye now dance with zeal amid the paradise of God; and drawing forth drink therefrom, ye are illumined with its splendors.
O choir of twelve, mindful now of all who keep your all-radiant memory with faith, entreat Christ the Master, that we may be counted worthy to dwell with you.
