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!
Unsullied by sins, O father, thou hast been revealed to us as a river of abstinence, inundating the passions and washing away the defilement of those who cry out with faith: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
Theotokion: In manner transcending nature and recounting thou didst bear the Master of all in thy womb, and with thy breasts dost nourish Him Who prepareth a timely banquet for all. Him do thou entreat, O pure one, in our behalf.
O divinely blessed one, who dost now converse with the immaterial choirs and delightest unceasingly in the splendor of the banquet on high, take pity on those who chant: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
Thou didst remain steadfast in thy confession of the Faith, O father; for, emulating Christ in the flesh, thou didst worship Him in painted icons, and didst cry: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
Bearing the wounds of Jesus the Master on thy body, O father, heal me, who have been wounded by the darts of Belial and cry out: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
