¶1
Irmos: Enlighten us with Thy commandments, O Lord, and with Thine upraised arm grant us Thy peace, O Thou Who lovest mankind.
¶2
To the light of the knowledge of God dost thou direct those who seek understanding of thee, O most blessed Virgin.
¶3
O the priceless gifts! O the incomprehensible mysteries which thou hast disclosed to the world, O immaculate Mistress!
¶4
Thou art the continual amazement of the world above, and the ever-ready help of that below, O Queen of heaven and earth.
¶5
Thou bringest joy to the angels and savest men; thou guidest sinners and healest the infirm; and thou dost illumine and bring consolation to creation, O Bride of God.
