Irmos: Once, in Babylon, the youths who had come forth from Judæa trod down the flame of the furnace with their faith in the Trinity, chanting: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
Contemplating the second coming of the Judge, thou didst put the dream of despondency away from thine eyes, O wise one, and, saved, didst chant: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
Theotokion: O pure and blessed Lady, who for the world gavest birth to God incarnate, save my soul, which hath mindlessly become enslaved to unseemly sins, that I may glorify thee.
From earliest infancy thou didst choose the good portion, O wise father: to labor for the Lord with fear and to follow His precepts, chanting: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
God set thee in the granaries of heaven like ripe wheat, full of the ways of the Spirit, O God-bearer, for thou dost chant: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
