Irmos: I will sacrifice to Thee with a voice of praise, O Lord, the Church crieth unto Thee, cleansed of the blood of demons by the blood which, for mercy’s sake, flowed from Thy side.
Sessional hymn, in Tone I: Spec. Mel.: “Thy tomb, O Savior…”—
Thou didst offer unto the Savior a sacrifice of praise in the Church of the saints, as a mediator between God and men; and through thy blood didst ardently bring thy soul to Him.
Theotokion: O wonder most recent of all wonders! For the Virgin, conceiving Him Who sustaineth all things in her womb without knowing man, did not confine Him.
Through the Spirit thou didst receive a multitude of gifts from God, at the opening of thy divine mouth, O hieromartyr; and in thanksgiving thou leadest to Him those who slew thee.
In that the assembly of Thine athletes is divine, O Christ, relying on hope they are nurtured in the present, considering death sweeter than life.
Thou hast been shown to be an ever-shining lamp for the world, enlightening the thoughts of the faithful with the lightning-flashes of thy divine words, O holy hierarch Hippolytus. Wherefore, we all joyously celebrate thy sacred and divine memorial today, and honor thee with faith.
