At the Aposticha, in Tone I: Spec. Mel.: “Joy of the ranks of heaven…”—

Come, ye faithful, and, assembling, let us honor with hymns her who was most gloriously born of a barren mother: the divine Bride and Mother of the Creator; and let us go forth with virgins and lamps to meet her as she entereth the Holy of holies of the temple.

Stichos: The virgins that follow after her shall be brought unto the King, those near her shall be brought unto Thee.

Having gathered words of the Spirit from noetic meadows, like divers flowers, let us joyously weave wreaths of praise for the Virgin and offer her a gift on her forefeast, as is meet.

Stichos: They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing, they shall be brought into the temple of the King.

Let the gates of the temple of the Lord be made ready, and let them be opened; and, rejoicing, let them receive the dwelling-place of glory, her who alone transcendeth the heavens in manner past understanding; and let them hymn Christ the Savior.

Glory…, Now & ever: the composition of George of Nicomedia, in the same tone—

Let heaven rejoice today from on high, and let the clouds rain down gladness for the exceeding glorious mighty works of our God; for, lo! the gate which faceth toward the East, having been born of the barren woman according to God’s promise, and been dedicated to God as His dwelling-place, is today brought into the temple as an unblemished offering. Let David rejoice, striking his harp; for he said: Virgins shall follow after her, those near her shall be brought into the tabernacle of God, into His sanctuary, to be raised in the habitation of Him Who was incorruptibly begotten of the Father before time began, for the salvation of our souls.
