Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.
With the divine lightning-flashes of thy most wise preaching thou hast enlightened those held fast by the night of unbelief, O divinely wise and most blessed one.
Theotokion: The Lord chose thee alone out of all generations, O Theotokos, and became incarnate of thee, deifying mankind.
The divine river which proceeded from thy heart hath drowned the torrents of falsehood and given drink to the minds of the faithful, O all-blessed one.
Enlivened by goodly hope, thou didst endure the ripping away of thy four limbs, sanctifying the earth by thy blood, O thou who pleased God.
