AT VESPERS:

Glory..., Now and ever...: Theotokion, in the same melody—

On “Lord, I have cried...,” these stichera in Tone I: Spec. Mel: “Joy of the ranks of heaven....”—

Troparion, in Tone IV—

While living on earth thou wast united with the incorporeal ones, and with them dost thou unceasingly worship the Trinity, O divinely blessed father. Wherefore, ever dwelling in the highest as a heavenly man, thou dost initiate those who are on earth into the mysteries of God.

O divinely blessed one, thou wast shown to be a branch of the activity of Christ planted by God, putting forth grapes of the divine Word, whence we faithfully draw forth precious sweetness; and with our whole heart we offer thy teaching to all the world.

Illumined with splendor divine, thy body consumed by material fire, thou didst pass over to the immaterial radiance, O father. Grant us remission by thy prayers, bringing light to the gloomy night of the passions of our souls, O wise one.

Tempest-tossed on the deep of transgressions, fleeing to the calm haven of thine all-pure supplication, I cry out to thee, O Theotokos: Save me, O all-immaculate one, extending thy mighty right hand unto thy servant!

Or this Stavrotheotokion, in the same melody—

When she beheld the Lamb lifted up upon the Tree, the immaculate Virgin cried out, weeping: “O my sweet Child, what is this new and most strange sight? How art Thou, Who holdest all things in the palm of Thy hand, nailed in the flesh to the Tree?”

As thou didst share in the ways of the apostles, and didst occupy their throne, thou didst find thine activity to be a passage to divine vision, O divinely inspired one. Wherefore, ordering the word of truth, thou didst suffer for the Faith even unto the shedding of thy blood. O hieromartyr Polycarp, entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved.
