Irmos: Wherefore hast Thou turned Thy face from me, O Light never-waning? And why hath a strange darkness covered me, wretch that I am? But turn me, and guide my steps to the light of Thy commandments, I pray.
Theotokion: Ever weighed down by the heavy burden of sin, we cry to thee, O all-pure one: Ease it by thy divine mediation; for thou art the all-glorious intercessor for sinners, having given birth to the Deliverer and Savior.
A womanly being hath been strengthened by the Spirit, hath trampled underfoot him who of old ensnared our first mother in paradise, and hath been vouchsafed divine glory in the heavens, resplendent in her virginity and sufferings.
Thy tongue became a shower-laden cloud, which letteth fall the rain of piety and watereth the hearts of the faithful, bringing them to produce virtuous works as fruit in a most sacred manner.
With the rays of thy virginity thou didst dispel the darkness of wantonness, and with the light of thy sufferings thou hast destroyed the night of ungodliness, O martyr Zenobia, beauteous bride of Jesus, dwelling-place of the divine Spirit.
