Irmos: Stretching forth his hands, Daniel shut the lions’ mouths in the pit; and the young lovers of piety, girded about with virtue, quenched the power of the fire, crying out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Manifestly receiving as the reward for thy great labors ineffable light, immortal life and a bridal-chamber which cannot be taken away, O venerable one, thou criest out, rejoicing, to Christ, the Bestower of crowns: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Theotokion: Christ, the Lord of all, making His abode within thy womb as was His good pleasure, showed thee forth as holier than the angels, O Virgin Mother; and He hath given sanctification and enlightenment unto us who cry: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Seeking mercy through almsgiving, thou didst provide for the poor, didst feed the indigent, and didst clothe the naked, winning for thyself vesture of glory, O Nicetas, and thou wast a model for monastics, who cry: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Having become an all-beauteous temple of the divine Spirit through purity of mind, thou drivest away the spirits of wickedness and washest away the infirmities of those who approach thee and cry: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
