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!
Theotokion: In thy womb, O Bride of God, He Who created the world showeth James to be a performer of service to God, who crieth: Blessed art thou among women, O most immaculate Mistress!
Enlightened by the divine advent of the Spirit while on the pinnacle, as in a furnace, O divinely eloquent one, thou didst cry out mystically: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
Mighty inspiration from on high caused the apostle to proclaim the great works of God with fiery tongue: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
Producing the writing-tablet of active vision like the tablets of the Spirit, thou didst teach men, crying: Blessed art Thou, O Lord my God!
