¶1

Irmos: Cast into the fiery furnace, the venerable youths transformed the fire into dew, crying aloud thus in hymnody: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God of our fathers!

The divine salvation which thou didst foretell hath been revealed, O wondrous Prophet Amos. Illumining the world with rays of piety, thou didst cry out: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God of our fathers! Twice

Theotokion: We glorify the birthgiving of the Virgin, which the mind cannot approach, whereby we have been delivered from death. Wherefore, though born in corruption, we cry out: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God of our fathers!

¶4

Strengthened by the power of God, thou wast not harmed by the enemies opposed to God, but remained as hard as adamant, crying out: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God of our fathers!
