Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: From the flame didst Thou pour forth dew upon the venerable ones, and didst consume the sacrifice of the righteous one with water; for Thou, O Christ, dost do all things soever Thou desirest. Thee do we exalt supremely for all ages!

¶2

Joining chorus with the angels, O blessed Onesimus, adorned with the crown of martyrdom thou standest in splendor before the throne of the Master, Whom we exalt supremely for all ages.

¶3

Theotokion: Having learned that the wonder of thy birthgiving is divine beyond comprehension, O most holy, pure and all-immaculate Mother of God, we exalt Thee supremely for all ages.

¶4

Ministering to the apostle of God, O godly Onesimus, as a true preacher of Christ thou didst acquire the ability to perform ineffable miracles. Him do we exalt supremely for all ages.

¶5

Enriched with the grace of healings from the abundant wellspring of the Savior, thou hast bestowed it upon all. And submitting ourselves to His divine commandments, O blessed one, we exalt Him supremely for all ages.
