Irmos: Perceiving the inscrutable counsel of God — the Incarnation of Thee, the Most High, from the Virgin — the Prophet Habbakuk cried aloud: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!
With the staff of thy teachings, O wise and all-blessed Basil, thou didst guide the flock of Christ by the living water of the divine well-springs and the pasturage of grace.
Theotokion: O most immaculate Mother of God, heal thou the broken state of human nature, in that thou gavest birth to the unoriginate Word in two inseparable natures, the likeness of Whose flesh we venerate.
With divinely wise words thou didst right boldly denounce the mindlessness of the iniquitous and infamous Lycinius, which was abominable to God, O martyr of Christ, and thou wast crowned with the trophy of honor.
Thou didst lay an immovable foundation upon the rock of Faith, O wise hieromartyr, and didst mightily endure the threefold waves of the falsehood of idolatry, destroying it with the power of Christ.
