Irmos: The Angel caused the furnace to pour forth dew upon the pious youths, and the command of God, which consumed the Chaldæans, prevailed upon the tyrant to cry out: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
Shining with the radiance of divine grace, thou didst pass through the darkness of torments as one who shareth in the never-waning day, O wise one; and thou didst cry out: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
Theotokion: Knowing thy virginity to remain incorrupt after giving birth, O Virgin, thou didst cry out to our Savior and God Who was born of thee in manner past understanding: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
Thy heart, founded firmly upon the rock of divine understanding, O wise athlete, was not shaken by the winds of temptations, crying out to the Deliverer of all: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
Madly, the tyrant commanded that the soles of thy feet be flayed, O glorious one, yet even when he saw thee enduring like one of the incorporeal ones, he in no wise understood how to cry: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
Burning in the furnace of torments, thou didst shine like gold; and as a model of the divine sufferings, O wise Basil, thou didst cry out: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
