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!
Most splendidly didst thou teach all to worship the One Godhead, in the Father, the Son and the Spirit, each Hypostasis mightily and manifestly preserving its character, infinite power and a single ruling principle. And chanting to Him, thou didst cry out: Ye people, exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Theotokion: Taught by the mystery made manifest within thee, O most pure one, and which, through thee, reapeth the deliverance and salvation of men’s souls, with the Archangel Gabriel we say, crying out to thee: “Rejoice, O Theotokos!”, hymning and exalting thee supremely forever, O pure one.
As a temple of sanctity, O holy hierarch, thou dost hallow all who make haste to call upon thy name, who lovingly depict thine image, O blessed father, and chant with faith: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord, and exalt Him supremely forever!
With instruction in the mysteries didst thou enlighten thine exemplary flock; and now thou hast caused the Church of the first-born to grow, increasing, because of thy hierarchal and mystical ministries, the number of those who have shone forth from ages past. And with them thou criest out unceasingly: Ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt the Lord supremely forever!
