Irmos: With oneness of mind, we, the faithful, magnify thee, the Mother of God, who, in manner past understanding and recounting, ineffably gavest birth in time to the Timeless One.
As a model for thy disciples during thy lifetime, thou dost now nurture our souls with thy discourses, ever teaching us even after thy repose.
Theotokion: Seeing thee who alone art pure in these earthly vales, the Creator received flesh of thee; and, deifying man, He hath given him life eternal.
Irmos: Christ, the Chief Cornerstone uncut by human hands, Who united the two disparate natures, was cut from thee, the unquarried mountain, O Virgin. Wherefore, in gladness we magnify thee, O Theotokos.
O Symeon our father, accept our praise and the lifting up of our hands with thy wonted kindness, entreating God Who loveth mankind, that our souls be saved.
Theotokion: The law of praises is abrogated by thy divine glory, O Virgin; but as thou art good and kind of heart, accept the praise of those who hymn thee, bestowing upon them cleansing of sins, O Bride of God.
Emulating the fasting of John the Baptist, thou didst lay waste to thy body with many struggles; wherefore, thou hast now received the rich reward of thy labors, remaining on earth, thy body incorrupt.
All of thy riches didst thou shower upon the poor, O God-bearer, and thou didst manifestly receive the righteousness which shone forth within thee, reaping that which abideth eternally instead of that which corrupteth.
By the power of the Comforter thou healest infirmities, O most blessed one, and through His activity thou dost manifestly drive the demons away. Wherefore, beholding this, we, the faithful, bless thee, O all-blessed God-bearer.
The splendid day of thy repose summoneth all the faithful to partake of sanctification, O divinely wise one; and, rejoicing, we now celebrate it, O most sacred one.
Thou givest a bounteous gift unto me who have zealously woven words in praise of thee, O divinely wise one, showing me to share thy way of life as I share thy name, through thy God-pleasing entreaties, O most blessed one.
