Hymn to the Theotokos, Tone VIII — For our sake Thou wast born of the Virgin / and did endure crucifixion, O Good One, / destroying death by death. / Revealing the resurrection as God, / do not despise the work of Thy hand. / Reveal Thy love for man, O merciful One, / and accept the Theotokos praying for us, / and save the despairing people, O Savior.

Venerable Father Nilus the Faster, Troparion, Tone VIII — With the streams of thy tears thou didst irrigate the barren desert,/ and with sighs from the depths of thy soul thou didst render thy labors fruitful an hun­dredfold./ Thou wast a beacon for the whole world, radiating miracles.// O our father Nilus, entreat Christ God that our souls be saved. Kontakion of the venerable one, Tone VIII "To thee, the champion leader" — In thy vigilant prayer thou didst cut down the underbrush/ of the uprising of the passions of the body as with a scythe./ As thou hast boldness before the Lord, free me from every misfortune,// that I may cry out to thee: Rejoice, O universal father! Kontakion to the hierarch, Tone II — Thou didst distribute thy wealth to the destitute,/ and hast now received heavenly riches, O John most wise./ Wherefore, celebrating thy memory,// we all honor thee, O namesake of almsgiving.
