Irmos: Thou didst come forth from the Virgin, neither a mediator nor an angel, but Thyself incarnate, O Lord, and hast saved me, the whole man; wherefore, I cry to thee: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!
Desiring crowns of glory, thou didst leave off pleasing the flesh, O most excellent initiate of the sacred mysteries; and thou didst offer thy whole life to God as a sacrifice of sweet savor.
Theotokion: Set my life aright, O Theotokos, directing it by the precepts of the Word Who was incarnate of thee; and guide it toward the light, O Virgin Mother, Mary Bride of God.
Limping away from the main path, the iconoclasts fell into the pit of heresy, and are now shown to be aliens; but thou, O all-blessed one, by venerating the image of Christ, didst denounce them.
Thou hast richly received the reward for thy sufferings, O most honored and all-blessed Michael, dwelling now with the heavenly hosts and dancing with the angels.
Thy tongue was shown to be a pen of the Spirit, O all-glorious Michael, being instructed to record the dispensation in the flesh of the Almighty Word, O thou who art most praised.
Resplendent in the sacred and honorable vesture of thy priesthood, and adorned with confession, thou wast a sight for angels and men, O most honored one.
