Irmos: Thou art my strength, O Lord, Thou art my power; Thou art my God, Thou art my joy, Who, without leaving the bosom of the Father, hast visited our lowliness. Wherefore, with the Prophet Habbakuk I cry unto Thee: Glory to Thy power, O Thou Who lovest mankind!
Theotokion: Springing forth from the royal house of David, O Virgin, thou gavest birth to the Word Who ineffably reigneth from before the beginning of time and hath shone forth from thee in manner past understanding. Wherefore, we, the faithful, call thee, the Theotokos, blessed.
Made strong by grace, the divine and all-radiant assembly and choir, the multitude of the martyrs, the victorious army, which had Arethas as its commander, suffered. Let it be hymned with love and honor by those who chant: Glory to Thy power, O Thou Who lovest mankind!
Thy divinely wise city, sustained by the knowledge of thee who art resplendent with honorable gray hairs and struggled manfully against the all-iniquitous ones, O thou who art most rich, seized the trophy and chanteth unto the Savior: Glory to Thy power, O Thou Who lovest mankind!
Protected by the new law of the life-creating Spirit, and trampling upon the written law, the pious city prevailed with spiritual purity and noble character, chanting unto Christ: Glory to Thy power, O Thou Who lovest mankind!
Truly the city of God hath been shown to be all-honored and a divine habitation of martyrs, and of thee most glorious, great and wondrous things are now chanted; for thou leadest to the Master a choir of those who chant: Glory to Thy power, O Thou Who lovest mankind!
