Irmos: I have heard, O Lord, the mystery of Thy dispensation; I have understood Thy works, and have glorified Thy divinity.
Having worked the soil of thy soul as with a plough, O martyr, thou didst produce the grain of suffering an hundredfold, storing it up in the granaries of God.
Theotokion: He Who is consubstantial with the Father, becoming incarnate of thy blood, as He was well pleased, O most immaculate one, showed Himself to be like unto men in all things.
Thou didst hear a sacred voice from on high, O all-blessed one, announcing to thee the end of thy suffering and enrolling thee in the choirs of the martyrs.
Showing steadfast opposition, O glorious one, thou didst endure to be fettered with chains, loosing every bond of falsehood.
With the cords of thy divine pangs, O passion-bearer, thou didst strangle Satan; wherefore, thou hast been adorned with the crown of victory, O martyr Basiliscus.
