¶1

Irmos: In the furnace the Hebrew children boldly trod the flame underfoot and transformed the fire into dew, crying out: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶2

Having finished the divine course and kept the Faith until the end, thou didst receive a crown for thy pangs, O wise one, crying aloud: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶3

Theotokion: To thee do I now have recourse, and to thy protection and divine intercession, O Theotokos; and I pray that I may be delivered from evils, O blessed and all-pure one who gavest birth unto God in the flesh.

¶4

Riding the chariot of divine virtues, thou wast taken up to the heights of Heaven, and dost now stand before God, crying aloud: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶5

The Creator Who alone knoweth the hearts of men, O God-bearer, set that which in thy heart is divine upon the thrones of teaching, O thrice-blessed Theophylactus.
