Irmos: Fall back in awe and fear, O heaven; and let the foundations of the earth be shaken! For, lo! He Who dwelleth in the highest is numbered among the dead and sojourneth as a stranger in a small tomb. Ye children, bless; ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Theotokion: Rejoice, thou who didst shine forth the Sun of righteousness upon the world, star of golden radiance, now illumining with rays of joy the first-crowned martyrs of the land of China! With them entreat thy Son, that He grant unto the world peace and great mercy.
O new-martyrs elect of God, ye surrendered yourselves into the hands of the torturers with unwavering faith — children and mothers, boys and girls, youths and maidens, the old and the young, those known and those unknown — O ye faithful worshippers of the true God, hymning and supremely exalting the Lord for all ages.
O glorious regiment of fearless warriors, ye tore apart the nets of the devil by the severing of your members, and like stars of golden radiance illumined the land of China. With your effulgence enlighten us also, who glorify and supremely exalt the Lord in your temple.
We glorify you, O most lauded new-martyrs, chosen beforehand by the Lord, Who loveth mankind; and we pray: O assembly of silvery radiance, with your fervent supplications to God luminously shine forth rays of Orthodoxy in your land.
O divinely eloquent David, prophesy now that the Lord hath brought together the nations whom He hath delivered from the hand of the enemy — from the east, and the west, from the north and the sea. For having found the word of God to be living water, they give drink to the souls of those who hymn them with love.
