Irmos: Dispel the gloom of my soul, O Christ God, Bestower of light, Who drove away the primal darkness of the abyss; and grant me the light of thy commandments, O Word, that, rising at dawn, I may glorify Thee.
“Thou art truly our intercessor and a most splendid wonderworker!”, cried Dionysius, who found thy relics to be untouched by corruption; and venerating them, we cry out: Disdain not our defilement, O favorite of God, but cleanse us of them by thy supplications!
Theotokion: Having thee as a rampart, and protected by thine intercession, we bless thee, boasting in thy divine glory; for thou, O most pure one, dost pour forth joy and gladness upon our souls.
Taught the precepts of God from thy youth, thou didst mightily desire to turn away from the vanity of life, O father, and didst love solitude; yet, not opposing the command of Christ, thou didst teach right confession and life according to the Gospel unto those who had recourse unto thee.
Even after thy repose hast thou been shown to be an intercessor for the suffering and sorrowful. For thus the people beheld thee issuing forth from thy tomb and praying in the midst of the church with angels. O truly all-glorious wonder! O joy and confirmation of the faithful!
As a lover of the kingdom of heaven, thou art assured of access thereto, and art shown to be one who hath passed over to the higher life devoid of pain and fear, and to be the teacher and hope of thy brethren.
Be thou the companion of my life, O father Job; hedge my sorely troubled soul round with thy prayers, and lead it into the kingdom of heaven, having won pity for itself by thy struggles, and offering up tears of repentance unto Christ.
