On Lord, I have cried…, 6 stichera: 3 of the Samaritan woman, in Tone IV: Special Melody: Called from on high…—

Finding the Samaritan woman by the well, Christ asked her for a drink of water, thirsting for her correction and salvation, which was understood as fulfilled by her deeds; for He Himself, Who is our drink, drew her forth who drew forth water, and filled with living water her who declared to those who dwelt with her in the city: “Behold, the Christ, the Messiah, Who of old was spoken of in the Law, hath appeared as a man, revealing mine unspoken thoughts!”

Lo! Christ the Messiah appeared on earth, and the Samaritan woman said to those in the city: “He Who hath been written of hath told me the things I have done, which were hidden in the depths of my heart! All the things I have done hath He told me!” Wherefore, the city made haste to see that of which she spake, which were wholly true; and they marveled at these things and believed what they saw.

At the sixth hour, the hour at which Thou once didst walk in paradise, a daughter of our first mother again beheld Thee, our Master and God, as Thou didst sit at the sixth hour where there was a spring of water and a well had been dug. And Thou didst ask her for a drink thereof, that Thou mightest give her to drink of the water of life incorruptible, which Thou didst do; for, having drunk freely of Thy vivifying water, she proclaimed the richness thereof in the city.

And 3 from the Menaion.

Glory…, Now & ever…, in Tone I—

Thou didst arrive at the well at the sixth hour, O Wellspring of miracles, in pursuit of the fruit of Eve; for Eve at the same hour departed from paradise because of the deception of the serpent. The Samaritan woman came to draw water, and when He saw her the Savior said: “Give Me water to drink, and I will satisfy thee with living waters.” And hastening to the city, the prudent one straightway told the people: “Come and see Christ the Lord, the Savior of our souls!”

Stichos: Unto Thee have I lifted up mine eyes, unto Thee that dwellest in heaven. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hands of their masters, as the eyes of the handmaid look unto the hands of her mistress, so do our eyes look unto the Lord our God, until He take pity on us.

Of the apostles: Thou didst enlighten the choir of the apostles with the Holy Spirit, O Christ God. By them wash away the defilement of our sin, and have mercy on us.

Stichos: Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, for greatly are we filled with abasement. Greatly hath our soul been filled therewith; let reproach come upon them that prosper, and abasement on the proud.

Stichos: Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the end of the world.

O Christ, Thou hast shown Thy disciples to be beacons in the ends of the earth, shining forth the knowledge of Thee upon souls in darkness; and having for their sake cast the deception of idolatry into darkness, O Master, Thou hast enlightened the world with teachings of piety. At their entreaties save Thou our souls.

Stichos: Wondrous is God in His saints, the God of Israel.

And having risen from the dead, Thou hast given immortality to the human race, in that Thou alone art Almighty. Twice

Of the apostles: Thy Holy Spirit revealed the illiterate disciples to be tutors, O Christ God, and set at naught the deception of the pagans with their greatly eloquent harmony, in that He is almighty.

Martyricon: How can we fail to marvel at your struggles, O holy martyrs? For, clad in mortal bodies, ye vanquished incorporeal enemies. The threats of tyrants did not frighten you, neither did the infliction of tortures daunt you. Ye have truly been glorified by Christ, as is meet. Ask ye great mercy for our souls.

Glory…, Now & ever…, in Tone II—

The Son Who with the Father is equally without beginning and equally eternal, the Wellspring of healings, came to the well, and a woman of Samaria arrived to draw water. When the Savior saw her, He said: “Give Me water to drink, and go, summon thy husband.” But she, speaking as to a man, and not to God, sought to conceal, saying: “I have no husband.” Then said the Teacher unto her: “Thou hast spoken the truth when thou didst say: ‘I have no husband’; for thou hast had five, and him whom thou now hast is not thy husband.” And marveling at his words, she hastened to the city, and cried out to the people, saying: “Come and see the Christ, Who granteth the world great mercy!”

As the Wellspring and Abyss of goodness, the Preserver of life, O only Compassionate One, how didst Thou cry out, conversing with the Samaritan woman: “Give Me water to drink, that thou mayest receive remission”?

“Come and see a Man Who, sitting at the well today, hath told me what I have done; for He is a prophet most great and true, Who knoweth things secret and revealed. But give me the living water which Thou givest to those who thirst, that I may never thirst again, O Thou Who lovest mankind.”

Stichos: Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity.

As the ever-flowing Wellspring, the inexhaustible stream of incorruption, O immortal Life, Thou didst sit down by the well after thy journey, sending Thy disciples for food, and didst converse with the woman drawing water, desiring to win her over and enlighten the eyes of her soul.

Glory…, Now & ever…, in Tone III—

Let heaven and earth rejoice with splendor today, for Christ hath revealed Himself incarnate as a man, that He might release Adam from the universal curse; and coming to Samaria, He made Himself wondrous through miracles: He Who investeth the clouds with waters stood before a woman, asking for water. Wherefore, all ye faithful, let us worship Him Who of His own will impoverished Himself for our sake in His compassionate counsel.
