	Στίχοι τῆς αὐτῆς ἑορτῆς

	Τὸ φῶς τὸ θεῖον τὸ φλογίζον κακίαν,
	ὁ πάντα ποιῶν καὶ κινῶν θείῳ λόγῳ,
	οὗτος βροτωθεὶς ἐξ ἄκρας εὐσπλαγχνίας
	ῥείθροις προσῆλθεν ἀρρήτως Ἰορδάνου
	Ἰωάννου μέγιστον ἱερὸν λύχνον
	φωτισμὸν αἰτῶν, ὁ πλάσας ἅπαν φάος.
	βαπτίζεται δέ, μαρτυρεῖ Πατὴρ ἄνω·
	κάτω τὸ Πνεῦμα φαίνεται λύσιν φέρον·
	νῦν γὰρ Τριὰς ἤστραψε τὴν θείαν χάριν
	ἅπαν καταυγάζουσα πλήρωμα κόσμου
