Irmos: Madly did the Chaldæan tyrant heat the furnace sevenfold for the pious ones; but, beholding them saved by a higher Power, he cried out to the Creator and Deliverer: Ye children, bless; ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Theotokion: The tongues of orators are unable to hymn thee, O Theotokos Mary, Bride of God; for thou, O pure Maiden, gavest birth to God Who is over all, the Creator and Deliverer, to Whom we cry: Ye children, bless; ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Following Christ Who called thee, thou didst acquire the purpose of Abraham, O thou who didst see God; and thou wast His all-radiant minister, chanting to thy Creator and Deliverer: Ye children, bless; ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Thy proclamation of the image of the law was mightier than the sound of thunder; for throughout all the world thou didst thunder Christ, our Creator and Deliverer, chanting: Ye children, bless; ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Thou wast made wondrous, O glorious one, by the splendor of martyrdom and the true enlightnment of piety, for thou wast set as a prince and apostle over all the earth, chanting to the Creator and Deliverer: Ye children, bless; ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt Christ supremely forever!
