Apolitikion – Mode IV

 

Profíta ke pródrome tis parousías Christoú,

Axíos effimíse se

Ouk efporoúmen imís i pótho timóntes se;

Stírosis gar tekoúsis ke patrós afonía lélinte

ti endóxo ke septí sou gennísi,

ke sárkosis Iioú toú Theoú kósmo kiríttete.

 

 

 

Apolitikion - Mode IV

 

Prophet and Forerunner of the appearance of Christ,

with longing we honor you,

although we have not the means of extolling you worthily.

 Your birth, which was exalted and most glorious,

ended the barrenness of your mother and the muteness of your father;

 and unto the world it announced the Incarnation of God the Word.
