Irmos: I will sacrifice to Thee with a voice of praise, O Lord, the Church crieth unto Thee, cleansed of the blood of demons by the blood which, for mercy’s sake, flowed from Thy side.
Kontakion, in Tone VIII: Spec. Mel.: “To thee, the champion leader...”—
Richly did the grace of the All-holy Spirit flow forth from thy lips, O divinely wise one; wherefore, the sound of thy words is like unto the rushing torrents of rivers.
Theotokion: O Theotokos, we hymn thy pure birthgiving whereby we are all saved from the snares of death and are delivered from grievous sin and the bonds of hades.
Thou didst flourish like a palm tree in the house of the Lord, O holy hierarch, delighting the hearts of those who with faith honor thee, with the fruitfulness of thy discourse and thy pure life.
The council of the heretics is slain by the vivifying sword of thy words; and the savage array of those who wage war on God is cut down, slain by the blade of thy teachings.
O Sophronius of Jerusalem, most wise among patriarchs, who struggled with divine zeal, spread the commandments of truth with thy lips, set the foundations of the Church in good order, and there transmitted them to those in the monastic ranks: thou didst bring most wise discourses to light; and, instructed thereby, we cry out to thee: Rejoice, O splendid boast of the Orthodox!
