Irmos: I have heard, O Lord, the mystery of Thy dispensation; I have understood Thy works, and have glorified Thy divinity.
The fire of temptations did not affright thee, O most blessed and divinely inspired Theophylactus, nor did the sweetness of food diminish thy strength.
Theotokion: Delivered from the debt of sin by thy birthgiving, O all-immaculate Bride of God, we joyfully send up hymnody to thee.
God set a watch over thy mouth and lips, O venerable one; wherefore, thou didst remain unshaken when the impious rose up against thee.
With patience thou didst wait patiently for the Most High Who set thy feet upon a rock and was attentive unto thee, when thou didst bow down before His image.
