¶1

Irmos: O Almighty Deliverer of all, descending into the midst of the flame Thou didst bedew the pious youths and didst teach them to chant: Bless and hymn the Lord, all ye works!

Turning wholly to God, thou didst shake off a ready inclination toward the passions and didst receive the ability to work miracles, chanting: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord! Twice

Theotokion: The archangel, appearing, holdeth forth in speech and announceth the ineffable conception of thine Offspring, Who saveth the world, O all-pure one. All ye works, bless and hymn the Lord!

¶4

Thou didst show thyself to be dreadful to the demons, having acquired Christ as thy helper Whom, taking up thy cross, thou didst follow, chanting: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
