Irmos: By Thy hand was the nature of water, which before was fluid, transformed into solid form, O Lord. Wherefore, having passed through it dryshod, Israel chanteth to Thee a hymn a victory.
O sacred initiate of the mysteries of God, teach me the quick paths which bring me to God, showing me the way across, that I may obtain never-ending life through thy supplications, O glorious one.
Theotokion: For us, O pure Virgin Mother, didst thou give birth unto Christ the Savior, the Deliverer and Liberator of the human race. Wherefore, knowing thee to be manifestly the mediatress of eternal life, we glorify thee.
Thou didst shine forth brilliantly in the Church of Christ, O godly one, resplendent with twofold grace. Wherefore, with twofold crowns hath Christ crowned thee in sacred manner.
Adorned with the crown of martyrdom and the anointing of the priesthood, O blessed one, thou didst shine forth in both. Wherefore, thou hast received a divine inheritance.
Thou didst exercise the consecrated ministry, O glorious one, as an unblemished sacrificial victim, sacred to the Lord, living and animate. Wherefore, thou wast accepted upon the heavenly altar, O Methodius.
