Irmos: Foreseeing in the Spirit the incarnation of the Word, O Prophet Habbakuk, thou didst proclaim, crying: When the years draw nigh, Thou shalt be acknowledged; when the season cometh, Thou shalt be shown forth! Glory to Thy power, O Lord!
Ye mountains, exult! Ye hills, dance! Jesus, Who alone is pure, and Who hath illumined the memory of the venerable one, is baptized! By Him hath all the falsehood of the demons been cast into darkness and the whole world hath been enlightened.
Theotokion: Thou gavest birth to Christ, the Wellspring of salvation, Who purifieth the wellsprings by baptism. The Jordan, seeing Him, turned back in fear, and John, baptizing Him, was filled with awe, O pure and most hymned Virgin.
Having mortified the carnal passions by abstinence, by thy divine utterance thou didst impart life to the bodies of the dead, kissing them at the time of their burial, O father, and straightway commanding them to lie peacefully until the general resurrection of all shall come.
Adorned with the beauty of divine virtues, thy life illumineth the faithful, and the shrine of thy relics emitteth rays of miracles upon those who approach with faith and praise thee faithfully, O father.
