Aposticha stichera, in Tone II: Spec. Mel.: “O house of Ephratha…”—

Glory..., Now & ever..., the troparion of the feast, in Tone I—

Thou hast been shown to be a habitation of the Holy Spirit, O holy hierarch, having within thee the Word of wisdom. O blessed Philip, entreat Christ God in our behalf.

Glory…, Now & ever…: Theotokion, in the same tone—

Troparion, in Tone VIII—

Glory..., Now and ever..., in Tone IV, the composition of Cosmas the Monk—

Stichos: My mouth shall speak of wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

Glory…, Now & ever…: Troparion of the feast, in Tone I—

Glory..., Now and ever..., the troparion of the feast, in Tone I—

With hymns let us praise the star of Russia, for he illumineth with beams of light all who are in the darkness of ignorance shining upon them the light of divine knowledge.

Troparion of the holy hierarch, in Tone VIII—

Stichos: The mouth of the righteous shall meditate wisdom, and his tongue shall speak of judgment.

Troparion, in Tone IV—

Thou wast the dwelling-place of the Holy Spirit, full of the grace of divine teachings, whereby thou dost water the world, O all-wise Philip.

Rejoice, O Theotokos Mary, thou temple indestructible and surpassing holy; as the prophet crieth out: Holy is thy temple, wondrous in righteousness!

O successor of the primates of Russia, pillar of Orthodoxy, champion of the truth, new confessor, holy hierarch Philip, thou didst lay down thy life for thy flock. Wherefore, as thou hast boldness before the Christ, pray thou for this city, and the people who honor thy holy memory as is meet.

When Thou wast baptized in the Jordan, O Lord, the worship of the Trinity was made manifest: for the voice of the Father bore witness unto Thee, calling Thee His beloved Son; and the Spirit in the form of a dove confirmed the certainty of the word. O Christ God, Who hast appeared and enlightened the world, glory be to Thee!

O luminary Philip, by the adornment of divinely beauteous virtues thou becamest an all-pure habitation of the most Holy Spirit and a treasure which cannot be taken away, granting unto all inexhaustible riches for thou adornest us with the radiant exhalations of thy words as with golden ornaments; for the sound of thy corrections hath gone forth, O holy hierarch and father, as saith the prophet.

Stichos: My mouth shall speak of wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

O holy hierarch, thou luminary of the Word and right instructive tongue, the godly voice of the sound of thy teachings moving all greatly toward zeal for the majesty of God, thou wast an emulator of the apostles, O God bearer. Wherefore, having astonished the tsar with thy zeal, thou wast shown to be an heir to the kingdom of Christ. Him do thou entreat, that our souls be saved.

Stichos: The mouth of the righteous shall meditate wisdom, and his tongue shall speak of judgment.

Come, ye councils of Russia, and with hymns let us piously revere today the honored festival of the holy hierarch; for from his youth he was truly vouchsafed to receive the effulgence of the Holy Spirit, and having laid waste to his body with abstinence, through purity of spirit he hath been shown to be a ray of the light of the threefold Sun, and prayeth now in behalf of those who honor him.

Glory…, in Tone VI—

Like a star of surpassing brilliance hast thou shone forth upon the city of Moscow in the teachings of thy words, O most blessed and ever-memorable Philip; for thou wast shown to be an all-wise preacher, and wast revealed as an heir to piety, confirming with true Christian teaching the tsar and people under thy care, that they abide in love and inseparable unity. And after thy repose, thou didst give thy pure and incorrupt body as a priceless ornament to the honored and far-famed monastery wherein thou wast spiritually reborn. And, as thou hast returned therefrom, after many years, to the royal city, we bless thee with psalms and hymns, and celebrate thy holy and most honored memory.

Now & ever…, of the feast, in Tone IV, the composition of Cosmas the Monk—

He that doth clothe Himself with light as it were with a garment hath deigned for our sake to become like as we are; and today He is covered with the streams of the Jordan, though He hath no need to be purified by them, but that, through the cleansing He receiveth, He might Himself bestow regeneration upon us. Oh, the wonder! Without fire Christ God, the Savior of our souls, casteth anew, and without shattering He fashioneth, and He saveth those who are enlightened in Him.

O successor of the primates of Russia, pillar of Orthodoxy, champion of the Truth, new confessor, holy hierarch Philip, thou didst lay down thy life for thy flock: wherefore, as thou hast boldness before the Christ, pray thou for this city and the people who honor thy holy memory as is meet.

When Thou wast baptized in the Jordan, O Lord, the worship of the Trinity was made manifest: for the voice of the Father bore witness unto Thee, calling Thee His beloved Son; and the Spirit in the form of a dove confirmed the certainty of the word. O Christ God, Who hast appeared and enlightened the world, glory be to Thee!

Before all Thou didst stand in the waters, O Unapproachable One, and Thou didst bow Thy head before the Baptist. And sanctifying the world, Thou didst deliver it from slavery by Thy baptism, O Sinless One.

Stichos: The sea saw that and fled, Jordan was driven back.

From on high, of old, the Father and the Spirit bore witness to the beloved Son, O Christ. Thus the mystery of the Trinity became known when Thou wast baptized in the Jordan.

Stichos: What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? and thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

As God, O Savior, Thou didst sanctify all the waters of the Jordan and the nature of water. Wherefore, the human race doth glorify and hymn Thine appearance.

He that doth clothe Himself with light as it were with a garment hath deigned for our sake to become like as we are; and today He is covered with the streams of the Jordan, though He hath no need to be purified by them, but that, through the cleansing He receiveth, He might Himself bestow regeneration upon us. Oh, the wonder! Without fire Christ God, the Savior of our souls, casteth anew, and without shattering He fashioneth, and He saveth those who are enlightened in Him.

In his suffering, O Lord, Thy martyr Polyeuctus received an imperishable crown from Thee, our God; for, possessed of Thy might, he cast down the tyrants and broke the feeble audacity of the demons. By his supplications save Thou our souls.

When Thou wast baptized in the Jordan, O Lord, the worship of the Trinity was made manifest: for the voice of the Father bore witness unto Thee, calling Thee His beloved Son; and the Spirit in the form of a dove confirmed the certainty of the word. O Christ God, Who hast appeared and enlightened the world, glory be to Thee!
