Irmos: Cleanse me, O Savior, for many are my transgressions; and lead me up from the abyss of evils, I pray, for to Thee have I cried, and Thou hast hearkened to me, O God of my salvation.
Kontakion, in Tone II: Spec. Mel.: “Seeking in the highest…”—
Illumined with the beauty of heavenly effulgence, O venerable one, thou didst leave thy cathedra on earth, and, as one most meek, thou hast received an incorruptible inheritance of those who are meek on earth.
Theotokion: Mankind hath been delivered from mortality and corruption; for thou didst seedlessly give birth to the Bestower of life by nature, O most immaculate Virgin, unto the benefit of those who praise thee with faith.
Mocking the deception of the blasphemous heretics, O right wondrous one, thou didst most diligently master the divine and pious understanding of the Orthodox: the veneration of the icon of the Savior.
Thy desire for God was fulfilled, O all-glorious one, for thou didst divinely pass over to Him, rejoicing; and now thou beholdest the splendors and beauties of the saints, O father.
Illumined by the light of the Most High, O blessed father, thou dost enlighten all who with love venerate thine honored suffering. O sacred athlete Basil, entreat Christ God unceasingly in behalf of us all!
