For the benefit of those who prefer to say the irmoi, the standard lot follows. They are taken from the Greek texts provided by GOARCH.org (https://glt.goarch.org/misc/Prosomia.html).As I review and revise the canons currently on this site, I will be incorporating the irmoi to them.
Ode I.
Irmos. After
crossing the sea as if it were dry ground and escaping the wickedness of Egypt,
the Israelite cried out: Let us sing to our redeemer and God.
Ode III
Irmos. O Lord, who covered the vault of the sky with a
roof and built the church: confirm me in your love, O summit of
desires, support of the faithful and only merciful one.
Ode IV
Irmos. I
have heard, O Lord, the mystery of your dispensation; I have meditated on your
works and glorified your divinity.
Ode V
Irmos. Illumine
us with your commandments, O Lord, and by your lofty arm grant us your peace, O
merciful God.
Ode VI
Irmos. I
will pour out my supplication to the Lord and to him will I declare my afflictions,
for my soul has been filled with troubles and my life has approached Hades, so
like Jonah I pray: Raise me up from death, O God.
Ode VII
Irmos. The
youths from Judea, having come to Babylon of old, by their faith in the Trinity
trampled down the flame of the furnace, chanting, O God of our fathers, blessed
are you.
Ode VIII
Irmos. The
king of Heaven whom the hosts of angels hymn, hymn and exalt him above all
forever.
Ode IX
Irmos. O
Mother of God, we who have been saved through you fittingly confess you, and
with the incorporeal choirs magnify you, O pure Virgin.
