Among the works of St. Germanus is his "[[Divine Liturgy according to St Germanus of Paris|An Exposition of the Liturgy]]", a genuine [[Gallican Rite|Gallican]] [[Divine Liturgy|liturgy]] that was used in France before the [[Roman rite]] was introduced in the time of Charlemagne and Pope Adrian I. A pastoral reconstruction of the rite was made in the mid-20th century by Evgraf Kovalevsky (later [[Jean-Nectaire (Kovalevsky) of Saint-Denis]]) and is known as [[Divine Liturgy according to St. Germanus of Paris]].
==Hymns==
Troparion, Tone 7
Holy Germanus, as bishop of Paris you remained the monk you always were,
cherishing the beauty of the Liturgy and developing the cult of the saints.
Your miracles merited your veneration by young and old alike.
It was thus that you exercised a happy influence over the powerful,
and prevailed on them to free slaves and release prisoners.
And in the name of Christ, in the Church of Gaul you made to reign concord and peace.
Kontakion, Tone 8
Let us celebrate the father of the poor, the treasure of the needy, the master of wisdom of kings and powerful men,
the unifier of the Church of Gaul, the unmercenary healer of all illnesses:
St Germanus, the founder of the abbey that still bears his name,
the crafter of peace, the exemplary pastor of Paris:
for he intercedes for our souls before Christ our God.
