¶1

Irmos: Becoming vanquishers of the tyrant and the flame by Thy grace, taking exceeding care to keep Thy commandments, the children cried out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!

¶2

Delivered from the sorrows of life and grievous turmoil, O most blessed one, thou didst receive joy and gladness past understanding, chanting: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord, and exalt Him supremely forever!

¶3

Theotokion: All of us, the faithful, have acquired thee as our intercessor, O all-pure one, and, delivered from evils by thy supplications, we cry out to Christ: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord, and exalt Him supremely forever!

¶4

Zealously opposing the blasphemies of the blasphemers with the doctrines of the Spirit, O father, thou didst easily break them asunder, O initiate of the mysteries, chanting: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord, and exalt Him supremely forever!

¶5

How beautiful is the place wherein thou hast made thine abode, O thou who art manifest in sanctity! How comely the habitation where thou abidest, chanting: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord, and exalt Him supremely forever!
