Irmos: This divine and all-honorable celebration, God of God, Mother of God, come, let us clasp our hands, from Her we glorify the God who was born.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Archangel Gabriel will announce to You a secret, hidden from time immemorial: now You, Mother of God, have received from God a gift to foretell the invasion of enemies, and from the cruelty of those faithful slaves Yours to protect.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
I humbly pray to You, the All-Good Forerunner: proclaim to me the inevitable hour of death and the terrible judgment of Your Son, so that in this way I may refrain from sinful deeds, such as I am always deceived by custom.
Glory: Rejoice, Most Blessed Virgin, who bestowed Her earthly lot in a dwelling upon the monk; Rejoice, you who clearly proclaimed your love for this place; Rejoice, you who promised to protect those who struggle in this Mountain; Rejoice, you who never depart from your promise.
And now: Rejoice, O all-generous giver of all gifts to Thy servant; Rejoice, in battles, in illnesses and labors, their most merciful comforter; Rejoice, thou who arranging a prosperous life here, and an all-blessed life there for all eternity.
Lord, have mercy (three times).
