¶1

Irmos: In the furnace the Hebrew children boldly trod the flame underfoot and transformed the fire into dew, crying out: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶2

The unapproachable Light enlightened thy soul as is meet, O Marina, and hath illumined with radiant lights those who chant: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶3

Theotokion: Judæa no longer lacketh a Prince, for the Master, the expectation of the nations, shone forth ineffably from thee, O all-pure one. Blessed is the Fruit of thy womb!

¶4

Thou wast truly taken up to the divine heights, for thou didst acquire an elevated understanding and hast made thine abode in a splendid mansion, crying out: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶5

A bride beloved of the Master wast thou shown to be, O God-bearing Marina, and as an invincible martyr thou criest out to Him: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!
