Irmos: Traversing the deep on foot, as though it were dry land, and seeing the tyrant Pharaoh drowned, Israel cried aloud: Let us chant unto God a hymn of victory!
Joyfully treading the narrow path of fasting, O blessed one, thou didst scorch the assaults of the enemy on the griddle of martyrdom and didst inherit spacious life.
Theotokion: With sacred voices let us glorify the holy Mistress, O sacred people: the impassable portal, the pure temple of purity, her who is beauteous among women.
She who before was barren, the namesake of Hannah, brought thee forth as a root, like Samuel of old, and giveth thee to God Who gave thee to her, O wise one, signifying the grace of thy life.
Arriving at the most sacred and divine rank of monks, O venerable Stephen, thou didst shine forth like a most brilliant star in thy virtues, mystically illumining the faithful.
Confining thy body in a narrow dwelling, thou didst furnish thy mind with wings to fly to the heavens, O wise one, freeing thyself to soar well through the expanse of the heavens.
