Irmos: Stretching forth his hands, Daniel shut the lions’ mouths in the pit; and the young lovers of piety, girded about with virtue, quenched the power of the fire, crying out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Having first calmed the uprisings of the flesh with vigils of prayer to the Lord, O glorious one, thou didst sleep a sweet sleep, dying for the sake of Christ Who poured forth life upon mortals through the divine sleep He slept upon the tree of the Cross, O blessed one.
As thou didst behold Christ, Who had become man in His loving-kindness, pierced in the side by a spear and pouring forth blood and water, O most blessed one, thou wast wounded by sweet desire for Him, chanting: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Theotokion: With mouth, tongue and soul I profess thee to be the Theotokos, and entreat thee, O all-pure one: Illumine my heart with thy light, and free me from cruel darkness, who cry out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
With the torrents of thy blood thou didst extinguish the fire of idolatry, O most wise Longinus, and, kindling thy soul with divine zeal, thou didst set fire to the graven images and their perilous temples, crying out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
Having illumined the eyes of thy heart with divine splendors, thou didst speedily abandon the darkness of impiety and didst show thyself to be a star of Him Who dimmed the most brilliant light of the sun, O wise one, illumining those who cry out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
