Irmos: I pour forth my prayer unto the Lord, and to Him do I declare my grief; for my soul is full of evil and my life hath drawn nigh unto hell, and like Jonah I pray: Lead me up from corruption, O God!
Kontakion, in Tone IV: Spec. Mel: “Thou hast appeared today...” —
Thou didst preach the consubstantial Word, the Son Who with the Father is without beginning; and thou didst destroy the vain philosophizing of the madness of vile Arius, O Eusebius, thou impregnable and steadfast bulwark of the pious.
Theotokion: The divinely eloquent prophets, perceiving the unfathomable depth of thy mystery, O Maiden, clearly proclaimed it through images and divine prophecies; for, in manner past recounting, thou didst give flesh to the Word of the Father, O pure one.
With the outpouring of thy precious blood thou didst dye for thyself a robe of royal purple, and with gladness thou hast entered the divine Kingdom, to stand before the King of the ages, O most blessed Eusebius.
Thou didst show thyself to be like a rose, like a fragrant lily, like the paradise of God, having the Tree of Life, the Lord and Fashioner of all, in the midst thereof, O Eusebius; and now thou fillest us with the fragrance of the divine Spirit.
Having lived piously in the rank of hierarch and traversed the path of martyrdom, thou didst extinguish the burnt offerings of the idolators, O holy hierarch Eusebius. But as thou hast boldness before Christ God, entreat Him, that our souls be saved.
