Irmos: The birthgiving of the Theotokos saved the pious children in the furnace — then in figure, but now in deed — and it moveth all the world to chant to Thee: Hymn ye the Lord and exalt Him supremely for all ages!
With the myrrh of the grace of hierarchal activity wast thou sanctified; and having been bishop where the salvation of the world was revealed, O most wise father Sophronius, thou didst cry out: Hymn the Lord, ye works, and exalt Him supremely forever!
Theotokion: Thou hast been shown to be a sacred temple of the Word Who sanctifieth all creation, and a holy mountain of richness, a most splendid mountain, O blessed Mistress who alone art all-hymned. Wherefore, we hymn thee, O Mother of God, and exalt thee supremely for all ages.
Honoring the highest wisdom, thou wast crowned with a crown of the graces, receiving the gift of wisdom, unfading glory and riches which cannot be taken away, O glorious one, crying aloud: Hymn the Lord, and exalt Him supremely forever!
Vested as a priest in divine righteousness, O father, thou initiate of the mysteries of God, thou didst govern the flock of the Master with most righteous words and deeds, teaching them to sing: Hymn the Lord, and exalt Him supremely forever!
Splendidly, in manner past recounting, the Word Who with the Father is equally without beginning bestowed upon thee discourse which turneth away and weakeneth the words and blasphemies of heresies, O father who criest out: Hymn the Lord, and exalt Him supremely forever!
