Troparion to the Myrrh-streaming Iveron Icon, Tone 7
From thy holy icon, O Lady Theotokos, / blessed myrrh has flowed abundantly. / Thou hast thereby consoled those in exile faithful unto thee, / and hast enlightened the unbelievers by thy Son's light. / therefore, O Lady, with tears we bow down to thee. / Be merciful unto us in the hour of judgment. / Lest having received thy mercy, we be punished as those who have been contemptuous of it. // But grant us through thy prayers to bring forth spiritual fruit and save us.
