Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.
Thou didst struggle splendidly, O venerable Basil, taming the unrestrained ferocity of the lion and the character of the foolish.
Theotokion: We wield thee as an invincible weapon against the enemy, O Bride of God, and have acquired thee as the confirmation and hope of our salvation.
Thou didst find Procopius to be of equal strength in struggles; and thou didst finish the contest, crowned divinely with many successes.
Now thou dost noetically behold Christ Whom thou didst desire, and Whose manifestations thou didst truly see from afar, O all-blessed and most sacred one.
