He Who is with the Father on the holy throne, coming to earth was born of the Virgin; He Who is unlimited by time became a babe; and Symeon, receiving Him in his arms, said, rejoicing: “Now lettest Thou Thy servant depart, O Compassionate One, gladdening me!”
At “God is the Lord…”, the troparion of the feast, twice; Glory…, that of the venerable one; Now & ever…, that of the feast.
After the second chanting of the Psalter, this sessional hymn, in Tone IV: Spec. Mel.: “Go Thou quickly before…”—
Glory…, Now & ever…: The foregoing is repeated.
Christ our God, Who became a babe in the flesh through His Mother who knew not man, didst thou take in thine ancient arms; and thou didst gloriously receive the fulfillment of the promise that thou wouldst be able to depart, and didst teach the continual grace of miracles. Wherefore, we all glorify thee as is fitting.
Glory…, Now & ever…: The foregoing is repeated.
