¶1

Irmos: Seated in glory upon the throne of the Godhead, Jesus most divine hath come on a light cloud, and with His incorrupt arm hath saved those who cry: Glory to Thy power, O Christ!

¶2

Provided with a most magnificent manifestation of wonders, and radiantly propounding the glory of the divine dogmas, with thy preaching didst thou embrace the whole world, which crieth out: Glory to Thy power, O Christ!

¶3

Theotokion: We call the all-holy Virgin the unploughed ground which put forth the Grain of life, the light cloud which let fall the Bestower of life as a shower, crying: Glory to Thy power, O Christ!

¶4

O blessed and most honored Thomas, we praise thee as one who himself beheld the Word, and who art an apostle and a fervent minister and witness to His glory and majesty.

¶5

Having set a foundation firmly upon the chief Cornerstone, O blessed and ever all-memorable one, thou didst build a bridal chamber and a heavenly tabernacle for those who cry: Glory to Thy power, O Christ!
