¶1
Irmos: Thy Church rejoiceth in Thee, O Christ, crying aloud: Thou art my strength, O Lord, my refuge and my consolation!
¶2
Offering thyself wholly to thy Creator and God, O venerable one, thou didst endure tyrannical maltreatment.
¶3
Theotokion: For our sake the Creator of all taketh on form, O all-pure and all-holy Bride of God, receiving animate flesh from thee.
¶4
Thou didst lawfully show forth an athlete’s endurance on earth, O ascetic; wherefore, heavenly gladness hath been given thee.
¶5
O all-blessed one, thou didst strictly maintain true humility, long-suffering, patience, abstinence and obedience.
