Tropar, tone 4:

O Prophet and forerunner of the coming of Christ,*
in spite of our honour and devotion, we are unable to give you worthy praise.*
Through your glorious and noble birth your mother’s childlessness was ended,*
your father’s tongue was freed,*
and the incarnation of Son of God was proclaimed to the world.

Glory be to the Father . . ., tone 3:

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; now and for ever and ever. Amen!

Kondak, tone 3:

Today, she who was barren gives birth to the forerunner of Christ,*
the fulfillment of all prophecy.*
In the Jordan, John laid his hand upon Him whom the prophets foretold,*
showing himself to be the Prophet, the Herald and Forerunner of the Word of God.

Prokimen, tone 7:

The just man shall be glad in the Lord and shall hope in Him.

Verse:  Hear, O God, my voice, when I make my petition to You.

The just man shall be glad in the Lord and shall hope in Him.

Alleluia Verses:

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel because he has visited and ransomed his people.

And you, O child, shall be called prophet of the Most High.

Instead of ‘It is truly right…’:

O my soul glorify the birth of John, the forerunner and baptizer of Christ.*
O all-puire Virgin, the ineffable mystery of the Word of God*
is clearly fulfiled in you.*
In his compassion, God has become flesh through you.*
Therefore, we extol you as Theotokos.

Communion Hymn (Verse)

The just man shall be in everlasting remembrance; of evil hearsay he shall have no fear.
 Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
