Irmos: O Lord Who by divine knowledge brought the ends of the earth into the light out of the night of ignorance, enlighten me with the dawning of Thy love for mankind.

Theotokion: O most hymned Virgin who hast been shown to be higher in honor than the cherubim, entreat thy Son, that He save the souls of those who hymn thee.
Holding the horse of Valens by the bridle, O all-praised one, thou didst denounce his bestial understanding, openly putting him to shame.
Thou didst expose thy head to the blows of a staff, O father, noetically holding Christ God to be the Head of thy faith.
