Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: O Almighty Deliverer of all, descending into the midst of the flame Thou didst bedew the pious youths and didst teach them to chant: Bless and hymn the Lord, all ye works!

¶2

Illumined with the splendor of sufferings, O glorious Codratus, thou dost stand as a ­­­crown-bearer with those who suffered with thee, crying aloud: All ye works, bless and hymn the Lord!

¶3

Theotokion: Delivered from the curse of our first mother by thee, O pure Mother of God, blessed Mistress, we bless thee with faith and chant hymns to thee, O all-holy Virgin Bride of God.

¶4

Made comely by the light of the virtues, O most wise Codratus, in thine end thou didst inherit the splendor of martyrdom, raising the hymn: All ye works, bless and hymn the Lord!

¶5

Corinth hath acquired as fortifications the precious relics of the saints, and their temple as a healing for which no payment is exacted, where everyone who hath recourse thereto is freed from pangs and passions.
