Irmos: The staff of Moses, once working a wonder, striking the sea in the form of the Cross and dividing it, drowned the mounted tyrant Pharaoh, and saved Israel who fled on foot, chanting a hymn unto God.
O father Gregory, show forth now splendidly the divine activity of thy wonders within me, delivering me from the abyss of my transgressions and enlightening me with thy radiance, that I may hymn thee as is meet, O blessed one.
Theotokion: Thou wast put forth as a shoot from a royal root, O pure one, and, in manner past comprehension and understanding, of thy pure blood thou didst give birth unto Christ the King, the incarnate Word of God, Who is of two natures, yet a single hypostasis.
As one who is skillful, sensible and wise, thou didst prefer nobility of soul to the passions of the flesh, O blessed one, industriously assembling the dogmas of wisdom whereby the soul that draweth nigh to God is nourished, O Gregory.
When thou hadst acquired chastity as a sister, as a good companion, O Gregory, the wicked serpent, beholding thee, raised up hatred against thee. But thou didst put him to shame, O father, by thy long-suffering, healing the woman who was held fast in the clutches of passion.
Residing in a strange land, O venerable one, in thy virtue thou wast manifest to all as honorable, pious and God-loving, having received the gift of working miracles from God, whereby thou hast been known, O divinely eloquent one, shining forth in the world like the sun.
