¶1

Irmos: Becoming vanquishers of the tyrant and the flame by Thy grace, taking exceeding care to keep Thy commandments, the children cried out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!

¶2

In gladness thou hast ascended to the heavens, O divinely inspired Jeremiah, and with the incorporeal ones thou standest before the throne of the King of all, chanting: Bless the Lord, ye works, and exalt Him supremely forever!

¶3

Theotokion: The Bestower of life received my nature from thee and cleansed it of its former defilement, O Mother of God. To Him do we sing: Bless the Lord, all ye works, and exalt Him supremely forever!

¶4

As a sacred preacher of piety, O all-praised Jeremiah, thou didst denounce the weakness of impiety, chanting: Bless the Lord, ye works, and exalt Him supremely forever!

¶5

Shining with the light of divine splendor, which thou receivest like a most lustrous mirror, thou dost emit radiance upon those who love it, crying: Bless the Lord, all ye works, and exalt Him supremely forever!
