Irmos: The children in Babylon, consumed by zeal divine, manfully trampled the tyrant and the flame underfoot; and, cast into the midst of the fire, bedewed they chanted: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Theotokion: The Virgin Maiden, the Mother of God, holdeth as an infant the Word Who giveth life unto all and hath created all things, as Isaiah said of old, joyfully crying: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Troparia of the Prophet
Arrayed in figure with a bridegroom’s robe of gladness, the glorious Isaiah now rejoiceth in gladness, and delighting in divine food, he exclaimeth with the angels: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
The accursed ones who, deceived by the words of the demons, cut themselves off from God of old, have rightly fallen away from the pure earth, in accordance with the prophet’s words; and they are unable to chant: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Forsaking falsehood, multitudes of the gentiles have hastened to divine radiance and have betrothed themselves to the Church of Christ, as Isaiah said of old; and with hymns they now chant: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Troparia of the Martyr
The wave of the madness of idolatry, boldly hurtling forth, hath broken on the steadfast and adverse opposition of the martyrs, who accepted tribulations for Christ and cry out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Beautifully arrayed now in a royal robe empurpled in thy blood, O invincible martyr Christopher, thou joinest chorus with the angelic choirs and dost chant to thy Creator: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
