Στίχοι τῆς (αὐτῆς) ἑορτῆς
 
Νῦν, οὐρανέ, σκίρτησον, εὐφράνθητί μοι,
ἡ γῆ δὲ πᾶσα σὺν βροτοῖς χόρευέ μοι·
Θεὸς γὰρ ἐξέλαμψεν ἐκ τῆς παρθένου,
ὁ μητρὸς ἐκτὸς καὶ πατρὸς φανεὶς δίχα,
ὁ πᾶσιν ἀπρόσιτος ἁπτὸς ἀρτίως.
ὦ θαῦμα καινόν· πῶς Θεὸς μικρὸν βρέφος;
μάγοι τὰ δῶρα προσφέρουσι τῷ βρέφει,
νόες τὸν ὕμνον καὶ τὸ θαῦμα ποιμένες,
σπήλαιον ἡ γῆ καὶ φάτνην ἐρημία,
ἄχραντον ἡμεῖς παρθένον καὶ μητέρα.
