The truth of things revealed thee to thy flock as a rule of faith,/ a model of meekness and a teacher of abstinence/ wherefore thou hast attained the heights through humility/ and riches through poverty.// O hierarch Metrophanes our father, entreat Christ God that our souls be saved.
Thou didst manifestly preach the Faith of Christ,/ and preserving it, thou didst truly cause thy faithful flock to grow into a multitude./ Wherefore, thou dost rejoice with the angels, O Metrophanes,// entreating Christ unceasingly for us all.
From childhood thou wast shown to be a precious vessel, becoming a chosen hierarch of God;/ and to Him thou hast cried out with gladness:// O Christ, Thou art equal to the Father and the Spirit!
