Irmos: There is none like unto Thee, O all-glorious Lord; for with Thy mighty hand Thou didst deliver the people whom Thou hadst acquired, O Thou Who lovest mankind.
Illumine my soul, mind and heart, O all-merciful Mother of God, and grant me the gift of hymning thee, the mighty intercessor, the mediatress of good things and sweet consolation amid griefs.
Unto the venerable John of Damascus thou didst show thyself to be a radiant cloud when thou didst hearken quickly to his supplication and didst restore his severed hand to health.
Today all the ends of the earth celebrate as one, hymning thee together, the steadfast help and protectress of our life.
Having acquired thy most precious and wonder-working icon “of the three hands”, the holy Monastery of Khilandar cried out to thee: Rejoice, O unbreakable rampart and mighty help of this monastery!
