Irmos: From the flame didst Thou pour forth dew upon the venerable ones, and didst consume the sacrifice of the righteous one with water; for Thou, O Christ, dost do all things soever Thou desirest. Thee do we exalt supremely for all ages!
Wholly intent upon God, thou didst account the pangs of the body to be as a dream; and hence, rejoicing, thou didst pass over to the blessed life which is devoid of pain, O martyred athlete.
Theotokion: Through thee, O all-pure and divinely joyous one, hath the human race been vouchsafed salvation; for thou alone gavest birth for us to the Savior, Whom we exalt supremely for all ages.
Strengthened by the love of the Almighty, thou didst mightily endure the maiming of thy body, and dost choke him who is mighty in malice with the streams of thy blood, O thrice-blessed Basil.
With hymns let the great Basil be praised: the royal adornment of the Church of Christ, the steadfast martyr, the model of the sufferings of the Savior, the confirmation of the faithful.
At thine end, O martyr, thou wast vouchsafed to obtain supernatural glory and never-waning light, the kingdom of heaven, an imperishable crown, life free from grief, and ineffable joy.
