Irmos: I hymn Thee, O Lord, for I heard report of Thee, and I was afraid; for Thou comest to me, seeking me who have strayed. Wherefore, I glorify Thy great condescension toward me, O greatly Merciful One.
With the sweat of piety didst thou sow the word of God in the Church, and thou didst reap the grain of Orthodoxy, O Tarasius. In the land of the meek hast thou made thine abode, and with them thou rejoicest in gladness.
Theotokion: God the Word, having been conceived without seed in thy womb, O all-immaculate one, issueth forth unaltered in nature unto the human race; Him do thou ever entreat in behalf of thy servants, that our souls be saved from misfortunes.
The fear of God of which Isaiah spake, O venerable one, didst thou receive within thee through the Spirit; and thou gavest birth thereunto for the Church. Thereby are the offspring of heresy dashed to pieces on the rock of faith.
With the shedding of tears didst thou wash away defilement, O venerable one, and thou didst reach the wellspring wherein the undiluted drink of everlasting sweetness gusheth forth; and thou didst attain unto thine ultimate desires.
