Irmos: Madly did the Chaldæan tyrant heat the furnace sevenfold for the pious ones; but, beholding them saved by a higher Power, he cried out to the Creator and Deliverer: Ye children, bless; ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Using thy discourses with knowledge, O Chrysostom, we learn what is precious in theology; we bear as fruit the profit of good things and escape the harm of evil. For thou hast been the common cause of our salvation, crying: Exalt Christ supremely forever!
Theotokion: O Virgin, the divinely eloquent prophets foretold thy supernatural and wondrous birthgiving by means of bodily forms, divers indistinct images, and symbolic phenomena of significance; wherefore, in gladness we piously hymn thee, exalting Christ supremely for all ages.
As thou hast most compassionate boldness, with thy merciful and sympathetic love pray to the Master for us, O father Chrysostom; for we, the faithful, set thee before the Savior as our mediator and intercessor, who prayeth fervently for us, O divinely wise and most blessed hierarch John.
Thou didst reprove the youthful stubbornness, headstrong thought and injustice of the rulers, O venerable one, interceding fervently for the oppressed; and in thy loving conduct thou wast a father for orphans, widows and the poor, crying: Exalt Christ supremely forever!
