Eirmos: Truly we confess thee to be the Theotokos, we who through thee have been saved, O pure Virgin; with the bodyless choirs, they do we magnify. Turn not away from the torrent of my tears, O Virgin, thou who didst give birth to Christ, Who doth take away all tears from every face.
Refrain: O most holy Theotokos, save us.
Fill my heart with joy, O Virgin, thou who didst receive the fullness of joy, and didst banish the grief of sin.
Refrain: O most holy Theotokos, save us.
Be the haven and protection, and a wall unshaken, a refuge and shelter, and the gladness, O Virgin, of those who flee unto thee.
Refrain: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit
Illumine with the rays of thy light, O Virgin, those who piously confess thee to be the Theotokos, and do thou banish away all darkness of ignorance.
Refrain: Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Theotokion: In a place of affliction and infirmity am I brought low; O Virgin, do thou heal me, transforming mine illness into healthfulness.
