Irmos: Beholding the sea of life surging with the tempest of temptations, fleeing to Thy calm haven I cry unto Thee: Lead up my life from corruption, O greatly Merciful One!
Kontakion, in Tone II: Spec. Mel.: “The steadfast…”—
Theotokion: He Who as God transcendeth all creation, noetic and visible, passed, incarnate, through thy womb, O Virgin Mother, preserving thee incorrupt, as thou wast before birthgiving.
Moved by the winds of the divine Spirit, O wise martyrs, ye all-joyously saved the leadings of your souls for the noetic havens, delighting together in deification.
Mounting the flaming chariot, O athletes, ye were caught up to the heavens by the blood ye shed, and have attained the glory of God, receiving crowns of victory from Him.
Philemon and Leucius, Apollonius and the ever-memorable Thyrsus, the four divine and radiant martyrs, have been enriched by partaking immaterially of the effulgence of the Trinity.
Reviling the impious tyrant, O champions of faith and piety, ye denounced his bestial thirst for blood, and, fortified by the aid of Christ, O Thyrsus and Leucius, ye vanquished his wrathful opposition. With those who suffered with you, pray ye in our behalf.
