Dismissal Hymn Tone 1
When You were baptized in the Jordan, O Lord,
the worship of the Trinity was made manifest;
for the voice of the Father bore witness to You, calling You His beloved Son.
And the Spirit in the form of a dove confirmed the certainty of the word.
O Christ our God, Who has appeared and has enlightened the world, glory be to You.
Kontakion Tone 4
You have appeared today unto the whole world,
and Your light, O Lord, has been signed upon us who with knowledge chant unto you:
You have come, You have appeared, O Unapproachable Light.
