Irmos: Once, in Babylon, the youths who had come forth from Judæa trod down the flame of the furnace with their faith in the Trinity, chanting: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶2

Illumined by the radiance of the Holy Trinity, O divinely blessed ones, ye have dispelled the darkness of deception and have obtained glory, chanting: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶3

Theotokion: From thee hath salvation shone forth, in manner past understanding and recounting, upon those who sit in the darkness of death, O Virgin, and thou hast made heavenly those below, who chant: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶4

Let the God-bearing Mark and the divine Cyril be honored, who forsook things below and have inherited things on high, chanting: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶5

Having shaken off the slumber of indifference during your struggles, ye finished the race and have joined the assembly of athletes, chanting: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
