Irmos: Traversing the deep on foot, as though it were dry land, and seeing the tyrant Pharaoh drowned, Israel cried aloud: Let us chant unto God a hymn of victory!
Standing with the heavenly choirs as a holy hierarch and servant of God, pray thou earnestly for us, that by thy supplications we may receive eternal good things.
Theotokion: From afar the sacred choir of the prophets revealed thee as the one who would become the true Mother of God, O pure one who art more exalted than the cherubim and all creation.
Chosen to serve the precious Gospel of the Lord, O blessed father Metrophanes, with thine all-wise teachings thou didst cause men to grow in goodly understanding.
Enriched with the understanding of God, thou didst pour forth the word of life from thy heart, watering souls hardened by the passions, O all-wise and divine blessed Metrophanes, hierarch of God.
