¶1
Irmos: Blessed is the God of our fathers, Who saved the children who chanted unto Him in the fiery furnace.
¶2
In the furnace, O Christ, Thine athletes cried out: Blessed is the God of our fathers!
¶3
Theotokion: We entreat thee as our salvation, O Theotokos: beseech Him Who was incarnate of thee, in our behalf.
¶4
Illumined with the light of the Trinity, the athletes surrendered their souls with gladness, chanting: Blessed is the God of our fathers!
¶5
Standing before God with gladness, O crowned athletes, pray ye to Him in our behalf.
