¶1

Irmos: O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, Who saved the children of Abraham in the fire, slaying the Chaldæans whom justice rightly overtook: blessed art Thou!

¶2

As Thou didst deliver the three pious youths from the flame, so also didst thou preserve in the midst of a fiery furnace the athletes who chanted unto Thee with divine wisdom: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶3

Theotokion: Delivered from the ancestral curse by thee, and having passed on to everlasting sustenance, we cry out to thee: Rejoice, O all-glorious Mistress, who gavest birth to the incarnate God for us!

¶4

Abundant gifts dost Thou bestow, and Thou pourest forth miracles, O Christ, acting and working through Thine athletes, in that Thou art full of loving-kindness, and revealing this to those who chant unto Thee: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶5

A multitude of martyrs, truly assembled by faith, have ye led to Christ, effecting the manifestation of most glorious miracles, and chanting: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
