¶1

Irmos: O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, Who saved the children of Abraham in the fire, slaying the Chaldæans whom justice rightly overtook: blessed art Thou!

¶2

O manifestly sacred martyr, with the splendors of martyrdom and the priesthood thou dost enlighten those who cry out to Christ at thy memorial: O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶3

Theotokion: Without seed thou didst supernaturally receive in thy womb the immutable God Who hath come unto men in His loving-kindness. O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶4

Beholding Him standing before thee Who knew thy most sacred contest of martyrdom from afar and stood before thee, O father, rejoicing thou didst cry out: O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶5

Enduring the wounds of martyrdom, afire with love Hippolytus cried out with patience and boldness: O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
