Three canons: that of the Dedication, with 6 troparia, including the irmos; that of the forefeast, with 4 troparia; and that of the hieromartyr, with 4 troparia.
After the first chanting of the Psalter, this sessional hymn, in Tone IV: Spec. Mel.: “Go thou quickly before…”—
Christ hath enlightened all by His advent and hath restored the world by His divine Spirit, and the souls of men are made new again; for a house hath now been raised up to the glory of the Lord, where Christ our God reneweth the hearts of the faithful, unto the salvation of men.
At “God is the Lord…”, the troparion of the dedication, twice; Glory…, that of the hieromartyr; Now & ever…, that of the forefeast.
After the second chanting of the Psalter, this sessional hymn, in Tone IV: Spec. Mel.: “Go thou quickly before…”—
Glory…, Now & ever…: The foregoing is repeated.
O ye faithful, the festive day of the dedication hath overtaken us, decreeing that all the chosen of Christ be renewed, and that with radiant countenance they faithfully chant hymns from the depths of their hearts unto the Master, as the Deliverer Who reneweth us.
Glory…, Now & ever…: The foregoing is repeated.
