Irmos: Stretching forth his hands, Daniel shut the lions’ mouths in the pit; and the young lovers of piety, girded about with virtue, quenched the power of the fire, crying out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Having stretched forth thy hands before the face of the Lord in the ministry of thy priesthood, O father, thou didst offer Christ thy blood and prayers. Wherefore, having drained the cup of salvation, O wise one, thou didst cry out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Theotokion: Human nature, which before was condemned by the fall into transgression, hath through thy birthgiving truly found blessing, and singeth joyfully: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Piously emulating the widow, with faith and divine joy we keep thy memory, O Blaise; and as thou didst keep the promise which thou gavest her, be thou also, in thy good gifts, a help unto us as thou wast to her.
