Irmos: Perceiving Thy divine condescension prophetically, O Christ, Habbakuk cried out to Thee with trembling: Thou art come for the salvation of Thy people, to save Thine anointed ones!
Neither the love of thy father nor that of thy transitory bridegroom hindered thee, the bridal attendant of souls, from hearkening to the heavenly Father and treading the path of salvation.
Theotokion: O most immaculate Theotokos, who art compassionate, have pity on mine all-wretched soul which hath been cruelly benighted by the passions of sin and groaneth.
Like a date-palm thou didst blossom forth with divine wisdom in the sweetness of righteousness, and like a cedar planted by the streams of abstinence, O divinely wise one, thou didst increase the fruits of the virtues.
With the fire of abstinence thou didst reduce to ashes the fuel of the passions, and, set aflame by the burning coal of the love of the Lord, thou didst emit rays of miracles.
Through the power and grace of Him Who was born of the Virgin, O Euphrosyne, the ancient foe of Eve is seen to lie, broken, before thy beautiful feet.
