Irmos: Seated in glory upon the throne of the Godhead, Jesus most divine hath come on a light cloud, and with His incorrupt arm hath saved those who cry: Glory to Thy power, O Christ!
Flayed thy body over, thou didst shed the skin garments of ancient mortality, O blessed one, and didst clothe thyself in the vesture of incorruption; and, rejoicing, thou dost delight in the tree of life.
Theotokion: He Who created all things by His will and desire formed flesh for Himself of thy blood, O Virgin Mother; and He issueth forth as One in two natures, saving us in His goodness.
Thou didst adorn thyself in the comeliness of the virtues and didst illumine thyself through the pangs of thy voluntary suffering, O all-glorious one, emulating the angels; for like one of the incorporeal beings thou didst endure wounds and the breaking of thy bones.
The abyss of ungodliness in nowise drowned thee, for the Creator saved thee with His mighty hand; and rivers of torments were unable to move the unshakable pillar of thy soul, O wise one.
