Irmos: Let us chant unto the Lord Who by His divine command dried up the impassable and turbulent sea, and guided the people of Israel across it on foot, for gloriously hath He been glorified!
Triodion, the acrostic whereof is: “The second”, in Tone II—
Refrain: Glory to Thee, O God, glory to Thee!
The ineffable condescension of the Creator, Who shone forth of old from the Virgin, hath illumined the world; and, working another mystery now, Christ cometh Himself to the Jordan for the awesome regeneration of mortals.
Ministering unto an awesome work, the Forerunner, the voice of the Word, now cometh forth to the Jordan, enriching impoverished Adam with divinity; for Christ cometh, making all rich with the Spirit through the gift of baptism.
