Hymn to the Theotokos, Tone IV — The mystery of all eternity, / unknown even by angels, / through you, O Theotokos, is revealed to those on earth: / God incarnate, by union without confusion. / He voluntarily accepted the cross for us, / by which He resurrected the first-created man, / saving our souls from death.

Bare bones pour forth healing!// Glory to the only God and Creator! Kontakion, Tone I "The choir of the angels" — Together let us all honor with sacred and sweet hymnody,/ the wondrous Menas, the godly Hermogenes and Eugraphus,/ as ones who rendered honor unto the Lord,/ who suffered for Him, attained unto the choirs of the incorporeal in the heavens,// and pour forth miracles. Kontakion, Tone IV "Having been lifted up" — The right melodious sound of thy words,/ leading Hermogenes up from the abyss of perdition, set him on the rock of life;/ and Eugraphus, having denounced the emperor,/ hath his glorious head severed, rejoicing.// And do thou earnestly pray, O Menas, that all that honor thee with love be saved.
