As we celebrate the memory of Thy Prophet Abbacum, O Lord, through him we beseech Thee to save our souls.
Thou plainly beheldest the sacred disciples of Christ as horses that troubled the deep sea of ignorance, plunging error into the depths with their godly teachings, Abbacum, God-proclaimer; hence, as a true Prophet, we acclaim thee, while asking that thou shouldst intercede that we find mercy with God the Lord.
