Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.
Smiting the hordes of the iniquitous like a swift scythe and a mighty sword, thou hast been crowned with victory.
Theotokion: O Virgin, thou pure turtle-dove who extendest the protection of the wings of thy supplication over thy servants in the world, disdain me not.
Shown forth as a radiant beacon of the day, thou didst enlighten the queen whose face was enveloped in the darkness of evil, O glorious one.
Beholding the confusion of the abominations of the idols, thou didst give thyself over to the shedders of blood like a lamb, O blessed one, and didst offer thyself as a sacrifice to God.
