This is a hymn from the Great Compline service, part of the Vigil of Theophany, served in the evening of January 5.
John saw You coming to him in the Jordan, Christ God, and said: “You have no uncleanness, Lord, why do You come to Your servant? In Whose Name will I baptize You? In the Name of the Father? But in Yourself You bear the Father. In the Name of the Son? But You Yourself are the Son incarnate. In the Name of the Holy Spirit? But by Your breath You give the Spirit to the faithful.” O God Who shone forth, have mercy on us!
