¶1

Irmos: Come, ye people, let us chant a hymn to Christ God, Who divided the sea and guided the people whom He had led forth from the bondage of Egypt, for He hath been glorified.

¶2

Theotokion: The storm of temptations and the waves of tribulations beset us, O Mistress; but, going before us, grant us thy helping hand, thy fervent aid and intercession.

¶3

Let us send up glory to Christ our God, Who is wondrous in His saints, glorifying the memory of His favored one this day.

¶4

Thee have we received as a second defender of our city. By thine intercession preserve us from all the evils which assail us.

¶5

Showing thyself forth to thy flock as a model of all good works, thou didst draw many souls to salvation; and they have obtained the delight of heavenly consolation, chanting: None is more holy than Thee, O Lord!
