O God of our fathers,/ deal with us ever according to Thy meekness./ Deprive us not of Thy mercy,/ but through their supplications// direct our life in peace.
Shining forth from the east like a most radiant star,/ thou hast shone the virtues of thy wonders in the hearts of the faithful,// O most blessed wonderworker Timothy.
O most hymned Theotokos, hope of the world, grant unto us in abundance gifts of grace from the inexhaustible well-spring of thy wonder-working icon, that we may cry out in thanksgiving: Rejoice, O most merciful Queen and Mother of Christians!
As thy divine Son lifted the paralytic from his bed by His word alone, so also didst thou raise up in an instant the ailing maiden. Wherefore, have pity now on thy people, who offer thee faith and fervent tears; and grant their every petition which is for the good, protecting them from all misfortunes, that we may all cry aloud: All things are possible for thee! O Mother of God, save us!
