Irmos: Trampling down the fire and flame in the furnace, the divinely eloquent youths did chant: Bless the Lord, O ye works of the Lord!
Having all-gloriously learned things divine, during their struggles the ewe-lambs of Christ were imbued with a manly character, suffering steadfastly.
Theotokion: The furnace of old, as an image of thy birthgiving, did not consume the youths, O Virgin Mother, just as the divine Fire did not burn thy womb.
Benighted by the drunkenness of the darkness of sin, the tyrant was shown to be a laughing-stock, but the virgins of Christ were shown to be radiant.
The virgin maidens were truly shown to be flutes, manifestly sounding forth the divine hymn of godly confession, witness and faith.
Made steadfast by the love of the Master, ye cast down all the foundations of the devil, O passion-bearers of Christ, and are now called blessed.
