Irmos: It is not possible for men to behold God, upon Whom the ranks of angels dare not gaze; but through thee, O most pure one, hath the Word appeared incarnate unto men; and magnifying Him with the armies of heaven, we call thee blessed.
Released from the flesh, O thou who art most rich, thou wast vouchsafed to behold the beauteous splendors of the saints; and thou didst join the angelic armies, ever chanting with them: Holy, holy, holy art Thou, O all-accomplishing and omnipotent Trinity!
Theotokion: Awesome is the image of thy birthgiving, O Virgin, for God, being born, became incarnate. Him do thou entreat, that He deliver from dread torment all of us who with steadfast faith honor thee, O pure Mother who knewest not wedlock.
Seen as a light, as a great sun in the sky of the Church of Christ, O most blessed one, thou dost illumine the souls of all who praise thee with the radiant effulgence of thy sufferings and the divine splendors of thy miracles.
Thou didst adorn thyself most gloriously with the beauties of sufferings, O divinely wise athlete, and dost stand before our comely Christ, wearing now a crown of righteousness. Wherefore, rejoicing, we the faithful honor thee.
The earth hath been hallowed by the divine burial of thy sacred and divine body, O Basil; and the souls of the righteous leap with joy, having thy spirit in their midst, O blessed one. Be thou mindful of us who remember thee for them.
