Irmos: Truly the Mother of God/ We confess Thee,/ salvation through Thee, O Pure Virgin,/ with the bodiless faces magnifying Thee.
Not only the most worthy and most glorious of all mothers, but also the most honorable angel and cherub, the most exalted one. Be there for me, the lost one, merciful Mother, instruct, enlighten, have mercy and save me.
You, Pure Virgin, pray to the Lord for the forgiveness of His enemies, even the persecutor Saul, who repented, the supreme apostle Paul became. Oh, the wondrous power of repentance! Oh, great boldness before the Son and God of the Most Pure Mother, to whom the gates of Heaven are opened to damned sinners.
Glory: With the prudent thief, I cry to Thy Son: remember me, O Lord, in Thy Kingdom. But You, Pure Virgin, rejoice and rejoice, for Your Son has risen from the dead and has given us the Resurrection and eternal life.
And now: When the time of Your departure had come, Your Son and God descended from Heaven, receiving Your soul in His hands, doing great honor to the Highest Angels. I will not cease to pray to You, Most Pure One, that you may remember me in the Kingdom of Your Son, especially the innocent child killed by her mothers.
