¶1

Irmos: All ye works of God and all creation, bless the Lord! Ye venerable and lowly of heart, hymn and exalt Him supremely for all ages!

¶2

Thou wast shown to be a noetic pillar which made firm those who suffered with thee, O Trophimus; and thou didst destroy the arrogance of the ungodly with the faith of Christ, Whom we exalt supremely forever.

¶3

Theotokion: Every mortal tongue hymneth thee, O Virgin, for thou didst shine forth the unapproachable Light, Christ God Who enlighteneth the world, Whom we exalt supremely forever.

¶4

Standing before the tribunal with radiant countenance, thou didst fill the iniquitous with awe; and thou didst show forth thy joyful suffering to be for Christ, Whom we exalt supremely forever.

¶5

Shown to be a many-starred heaven, the divinely elect company of athletes in godly manner hath illumined those in the world with the Faith of Christ, Whom we exalt supremely forever.

¶6

Triadicon: We hymn the unoriginate Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the consubstantial Trinity, the one Cause and Godhead, praising and hymning Him forever.
