Irmos: The children in Babylon did not fear the flame of the furnace, but, cast into the midst of the fire, bedewed, they sang: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God of our fathers!
Subjected to tortures and heated by fire like pure gold, O athlete of Christ, thou didst become a sacred offering for Christ.
Theotokion: O pure and Ever-virgin Theotokos, who received Joy in thine all pure womb, fill thou my heart with gladness, dispelling the grief of the passions.
By the dew of thy supplications thou didst extinguish the furnace of the all-iniquitous ones, O wise one, and wast delivered therefrom, chanting to the Creator: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God of our fathers.
In the multitude of thy sufferings thou wast shown to be a tree of lofty stature, sheltering from the burning heat of sin the faithful who cry out: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
