Irmos: The children of Abraham in the Persian furnace, afire with love of piety more than with the flame, cried out: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
Approaching the Master with all thy desire, O venerable one, enduring vexation, indignity and stripes, thou didst cry out: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
Theotokion: O virgin who gavest birth to our true Life, thou hast restored mortals who have been held fast under the law, and who cry: Blessed art thou among women, O most immaculate Mistress!
Setting thy thoughts on the sufferings and crucifixion of thy Master, and being mindful of death, wounded thou didst chant: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
Lying in the grave, dead, bereft of breath, according to the law of those who die, in manner transcending nature thou didst answer him who spake to thee, as though thou hadst not died, crying: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
