Irmos: Come people, let us sing a song to Christ God, who divided the sea and led the people through it, whom He brought out of slavery in Egypt; for He is glorified.
(At each song of the canon, after the irmos (before the first troparion) one should say: “Create a pure heart in me, O God, and renew the spirit of righteousness in my insides,” before the next troparion, “Do not cast me away from Thy presence, and do not take Thy Holy Spirit from me.” Before the Mother of God, “Most Holy Theotokos, save us!”).
Merciful Lord! May Thy Holy Body be to me the bread of life that has no end, and may Thy holy Blood be a cure for various diseases.
Christ! Desecrated by vile deeds, I, pitiful, become unworthy of communion of Your most pure Body and Divine Blood; honor me with it.
Theotokos: Blessed Bride of God, beautiful land, which has grown without cultivation an ear of corn, saving the world, make me worthy of salvation, who partakes of it.
