Eirmos: Having passed through the water as on dry land, and having escaped the malice of the Egyptians, the Israelites cried aloud: Unto our God and Redeemer let us now sing.
Refrain: O most holy Theotokos, save us.
Distressed by many temptations, I flee to thee, seeking salvation. O Mother of the Word, and Virgin, from orders and afflictions deliver me.
Refrain: O most holy Theotokos, save us.
Outbursts of passions trouble me and fill my soul with great despondency. Calm it, O Maiden, by the peace of thy Son and God, O all-blameless one.
Refrain: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit
I implore thee who gavest birth to the Saviour and God, O Virgin, to deliver me from perils. For, fleeing now unto thee for refuge, I lift up both my soul and my reasoning.
Refrain: Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Theotokion: Ailing am I in body and soul, do thou vouchsafe me the divine visitation, and thy care, O thou who alone art the Mother of God, for thou art good and the Mother of the Good.
