Irmos: Establish us in thee, O Lord Who hast slain sin by the Tree, and plant the fear of Thee in the hearts of us who hymn Thee.
Sessional hymn, in Tone V: Spec. Mel.: “The Word Who with the Father and the Spirit is equally without beginning…”—
Theotokion: The oratory of the rhetors hath been silenced and the keen intellect of the sages hath been blunted by thy birthgiving, O Bride of God, for they are at a loss how to understand the mystery of thee.
Thy life was holy, thy visage godly, thy demeanor serene, thy mind adorned, and thy discourse seasoned with the salt of grace, O divinely wise one.
Glory…, Now & ever…: Theotokion—
Christ lighted thee like a candle, O most blessed Gregory, who shinest forth on the summit of the Church and dost illumine it with thy rays.
Thou didst remove thy mind wholly from the world, O hierarch Gregory, and, directing all thy desire toward the Master, thou didst attract the grace of the Spirit.
Let us hymn the ever-glorious hierarch, the godly shepherd and champion of Rome, and let us cry out to him with compunction: Entreat Christ, O divinely eloquent Gregory, that He grant peace and the uprooting of heresies and schisms to the Churches, and great mercy to our souls.
O most holy Virgin, have mercy upon us who flee to thee, the compassionate one, with faith and beg thy fervent aid; for, in that thou art good and the Mother of God Most High, thou canst save all who ever implore thy maternal supplications.
