Irmos: God, Who descended into the fiery furnace for the Hebrew children and transformed the flame into dew, hymn ye as Lord, O ye works, and exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Having slain the originator of death by the death of Thy body, O Compassionate One, thou didst show him to all men as eternal death. Thee do we exalt supremely, O Life and Incorruption!
Theotokion: The Author of my life, confronting death in the flesh, slew it. And He hath given life to those who hymn thee with love, O Virgin, and exalt Him supremely forever.
Cleansed of all the mire of ungodliness and the worship of idols by the laver of baptism, O athlete Sabbas, in purity thou didst draw nigh to the Creator, showing manful endurance in thy contests.
Astonishing thy tormenters with thy mellifluous discourse and thy mild gaze, O wise one, thou didst win victories over them and didst cry: Thee do we exalt supremely, O Lord, forever!
