Irmos: Once, in Babylon, the fiery furnace divided its activity at the command of God, consuming the Chaldæans, but bedewing the faithful, who chant: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Theotokion: Truly holy is this day, whereon the Mother of God hath assembled us to glorify her favored one, Sophronius, who resteth in her temple and by his miracles moveth us to chant: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Desiring not to receive glory from men, as God permitted thou didst withdraw thy precious relics in a fiery conflagration, that thou mightest be glorified by Christ God alone, teaching us to desire not that which is earthly, but rather the kingdom of heaven, which we hope to obtain by thy supplications.
Like a ray of the light of Christ thou didst shine forth in the land of Siberia, O holy hierarch father Sophronius, enlightening all who tread the path of the Gospel, that, illumined by thy light, we may not wander onto the path of sin, but, having attained eternal light, may delight with thee in life everlasting.
Let us glorify Sophronius, the second apostle of Siberia; let us follow his blameless life and, thrusting aside all sinful remembrance of wrongs, let us cry: Rejoice, O Sophronius, thou help of our city!
