Irmos: I have heard report of Thee, O Lord, for Thou didst appear upon the earth; and I have glorified Thy power.
O all-pure Virgin, thou didst pour forth the ever-flowing Fountain Who watereth all the valleys. Drown thou also all our temptations, and utterly destroy them.
Come, let us all hymn the ladder of Jacob, the fleece of Gideon, the mediatress of joy, the might and boast of all the faithful, saying: Rejoice, O pure Virgin!
Kissing thy precious image, O most pure one, we flee to thy goodness and, bending our knees and weeping, we pray: Disdain not our sighs, but be thou a protection and helper for us on the day of judgment.
O thou who gavest birth to the Word of God, visit us in thy grace, illumine our benighted souls and hearts, and grant us deliverance from misfortunes and remission of all our sins.
