¶1

Irmos: Let us chant unto the Lord, Who led His people through the Red Sea, for He alone hath gloriously been glorified.

¶2

The glory of immortality and a divine crown of incorruption hath Christ given thee who struggled well, O Gerasimus.

¶3

Theotokion: Ease thou the pain of my heart, O all-pure Theotokos who, in manner past understanding and recounting, gave birth unto Christ without pain.

¶4

Having the Bestower of light attending to thy supplications, O father Gerasimus, thou didst diminish the darkness of the demons.

¶5

Through the streams of thy tears, O father, thou didst bring forth the fruits of immortality like an irrigated tree, O divinely wise Gerasimus.
