¶1
Irmos: The King of heaven, Whom the hosts of angels hymn, praise and exalt ye supremely for all ages!
¶2
As thou didst prefer the King of heaven to all earthly things, O Artemon, thou rejoicest with Him forever, as is meet.
¶3
Theotokion: He Who received human nature from thee in manner past understanding and recounting, O Theotokos, hath made the children of men His own.
¶4
The assaults of the torturers in nowise stripped thee of the love of the Creator, O passion-bearer, for thou wast upborne unto Him in spirit.
¶5
Illumined with the splendors of divine light, O passion-bearer, thou didst enter in unto the ever-shining altar of His mysteries, as an initiate of ineffable mysteries.
