Irmos: The children of Abraham in the Persian furnace, afire with love of piety more than with the flame, cried out: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
We know thee to be a living temple of the living God, having the understanding of the Trinity within thee as a lampstand. Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
Theotokion: Without dividing or confusing that which is united, we glorify the one Christ, the Word Who was incarnate of Thee, crying out: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
Thou didst set at nought the blasphemies of the heretics, O Nicephorus, convincing to venerate the icon of Christ those who cry out: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
Possessing a wealth of wisdom and a godly life, thou didst noetically transform all thy senses, and dost now converse with Christ, saying: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
