Irmos: Christ is my power, my God and my Lord, the honored Church doth sing, crying out in godly manner with a pure mind, keeping festival in the Lord.
Illumined with the light of the Spirit, O father, thou didst impart light to the blind through thine entreaties, emulating thy Master and God, O divinely inspired one.
Theotokion: On thee, O all-immaculate one, have I set all hope of my salvation, and I have fled to thy protection. Be thou my helper, O Maiden, delivering me from evil things.
Thou hast been seen by those sailing afar off at sea, by divine grace piloting to a calm harbor those who with faith invoke thy name, O blessed father Stephen.
As a sacred minister, thou didst offer thyself as a sacred immolation unto Him Who was slain for thy sake, O Stephen, and, rejoicing, thou hast found rest in the mansions of the first-born.
Thou wast shown to be wholly healthy on the dry field, O martyr, marvelling with thy precious tongue at the grace given thee abundantly from on high for the correction of men.
