Irmos: The prophet, foreseeing the ineffable quality of Thy mystery, O Christ, declared: Thou hast set forth the mighty grace of baptism for all that receive it with faith, unto our deliverance from our sins!
Thou hast made haste to the baptism which poureth forth remission upon mortals, and Thou callest all who are weighed down with transgressions and have lived wickedly in impurity, promising to bestow rest of soul upon them, in that Thou art compassionate.
Thou sharest my flesh, that Thou mightest bestow upon me Thy divinity; for, being the immutable image of Thy Father, Thou dost pass beneath the hand of Thy creation, O Savior, being manifest as a man save without sin, purifying that which is like unto Thee by Thy likeness thereto, O Word.
Manifest are drink, anointing and the Spirit of Thy sealing, O Savior, and knowledge, mystic gifts, and the right comely works of the gifts of God; for the Father sent Thee, His only-begotten Son, into the world for the cleansing thereof.
