Aposticha stichera, in Tone VI—

From thy youth thou gavest thyself wholly to the Lord, abiding in prayer, labor and fasting, O God-bearer, and thou wast a model of virtue for thy flock; therefore, beholding thy goodly disposition, God appointed thee as a shepherd and valiant hierarch for His Church, and after thy repose kept thy holy body unharmed, O holy hierarch Basil. Wherefore, as thou hast boldness, entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved. Twice

O blessed Basil, falling down before thee, I pray: Have pity and enlighten my soul, O all-wise one, that in adoration I may lift up mine eyes unto the compassionate Bestower of light.

Now & ever…: Theotokion, in the same tone—

After the Blessing of the Loaves, the troparion of the saint, in Tone IV—

Stichos: Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

Roaring, the enemies who desire to do evil unto me seek my destruction. But deliver me, I pray thee, O divinely wise and holy hierarch, in that thou hast boldness before God, and save me from wicked men, O most blessed hierarch Basil.

Stichos: Thy priests shall be clothed with righteousness, and Thy righteous shall rejoice.

We, the faithful, have acquired thee as a calm haven, an unassailable rampart, a tower of confirmation and a portal of repentance; wherefore, falling down, we beseech thee, O father Basil: Protect us by thy supplications, in that thou art the wise guide and ally of our souls.

Glory…, Now & ever…, in the same tone—

The adversary roareth against thy flock, O all-pure one, and every day the wicked seek to devour it; but deliver it from all harm and rapacity, O Theotokos.

O holy father Basil, in that thou art a ray of noetic light, a lamp of the Church, the beauty of monastics, a model of the life of fasting, be thou a helper unto us, by thy supplications freeing our souls from the pernicious enemy.

Stichos: Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

Receiving great authority from God, O father Basil, thou drivest away multitudes of evil spirits, from their malice saving all who with faith and love have recourse to the shrine of thy relics.

Stichos: What shall I render unto the Lord for all that He hath rendered unto me?

How can we fittingly hymn the great holy hierarch Basil, the divinely radiant lamp of honored intelligence, which doth illumine and enlighten the faithful flock with divine understanding, in that he is a confessor of the profundity of the mysteries of salvation? Wherefore, together let us all say unto him: Rejoice, O Basil, thou father of fathers!

Glory…, in the same tone—

Thou art a good shepherd and an ardent teacher, O holy hierarch Basil; and ever praising thee, we cry out: God hath adorned His Church with thee, and thy body, which remained in the ground for many years, hath been shown to thy people as incorrupt. Wherefore, never cease to pray for those who honor thy holy memory.

O unwedded Virgin who ineffably conceived God in the flesh, Mother of God Most High: Accept the entreaties of thy servants, O most immaculate one, granting the cleansing of transgressions unto all; and, accepting now our supplications, pray thou that we may all be saved.

And “Virgin Theotokos, rejoice!…”, once.
