Irmos: With hymns do we magnify thee, the Theotokos who knewest not wedlock, the heavenly bridal-chamber, who gavest birth to the Author of our salvation.

¶2

With hymns do we magnify thee, O athlete, who wondrously finished the course of thy suffering and received the crown of victory from Christ God.

¶3

Theotokion: With hymns do we magnify thee, the bush which Moses beheld, burning, yet unconsumed, having received the fire of the Divinity.

¶4

With hymns do we magnify thee, O divinely revealed athlete, for like Moses thou didst show thyself to be the leader of those who suffered with thee to the life which ageth not.

¶5

O choir of martyrs worthy of God, in that ye vanquished falsehood and have received splendid crowns from God, pray ye that we be saved.

¶6

Triadicon: With hymns do we magnify Thee: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the Unity of three Hypostases, the indivisible Essence.
