¶1

Irmos: Enlighten us with Thy commandments, O Lord, and with Thine upraised arm grant us Thy peace, O Thou Who lovest mankind.

¶2

Having shed the weight of thy flesh by thy convulsions and illumined thy soul, O godly Sabinus, thou didst take wing to divine and true delight. Twice

¶3

Theotokion: Mortify the uprisings of my passions, O pure one, delivering me from corruption and granting me the salvation of dispassion.

¶4

That thou mightest find the torrent of sweetness and the beauty of incorruption, O glorious one, thou didst manifestly spit upon the fleeting beauty of the world.
