¶1
Irmos: Let us chant unto the Lord, Who led His people through the Red Sea, for He alone hath gloriously been glorified.
¶2
Anointed with the oil of the priesthood, O most blessed one, thou didst adorn it with divers virtues, O thou who art most rich.
¶3
Theotokion: In giving birth to the Savior, O pure Mother of God, thou didst free the first-created man, who had been condemned for transgressing the law of God.
¶4
Like a ripe cluster of grapes thou didst pour forth understanding, O father; and thou didst offer the joyous cup of thy wisdom unto all, O thrice-blessed one.
¶5
Thou wast heir to the throne of the preëminent Peter, possessing his character and zeal for the Faith, O divinely wise one.
