¶1

Irmos: In the furnace the Hebrew children boldly trod the flame underfoot and transformed the fire into dew, crying out: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶2

O the ineffable gladness which thou hast been vouchsafed to receive, O most blessed one, living in immaterial light and chanting: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶3

Theotokion: Thou didst transform the ancient curse of Eve into a blessing, having given birth to the Son of God, to Whom we all cry: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶4

Beautifully adorned with the crown of divine magnificence, O most blessed one, thou joinest chorus, crying out with the armies on high: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶5

As an initiate of the mysteries of the Trinity, a minister of the mysteries of heaven, render the Master merciful to those who cry: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!
