Irmos: Thou didst once prefigure Thy Mother in the furnace of the children, O Lord; for her image drew from the fire those who entered it, without being consumed. We hymn and exalt her supremely for all ages, who through Thee hath been made manifest today to the ends of the earth.
Thou hast been shown to be like a morning cloud which letteth fall drops of rain and dew, O wise one; a wealth of benefaction hast thou amassed on earth; and thou hast anointed the hearts of the starving and lighted a bright spiritual lamp.
Theotokion: Forget not the cries of thy servants, O dread intercessor, but by thy supplications rescue us from all tribulations and every threat; for thy maternal entreaty moveth God to relent.
Illumined with the light of thy works and the vesture of thy high priesthood, thou wast shown to be the key of chastity, the sustenance of abstinence, the teacher of true prayer, the way of repentance and the law of life.
O my soul, bring forth a time of repentance and the fruit of conversion, and fear thou the curse inflicted upon the barren fig tree and the threat of being hewn down. Mollify Christ with the fruitfulness of the virtues.
