¶1

Irmos: O most lauded one, who art higher in eminence than the heavens: without seed didst thou conceive the unoriginate Word and gavest birth for men unto the incarnate God. Wherefore, we all magnify thee.

¶2

Thy tongue divinely moved by prophetic revelation and declaring things divine, O Amos, thou didst announce unto all the loving-kindness of God. Wherefore, we all ever call thee blessed. Twice

¶3

Theotokion: Thou hast stripped away my garment of mortality and corruption, O Virgin, having engendered for men the saving garment of the incarnate God. Wherefore, we all ever magnify thee.

¶4

Ineffable is the glory of the prophets; for the Holy Spirit, making His abode within them, hath shown them to be partakers of His effulgence, and by them are all of us, the faithful, illumined.
