Irmos: Madly did the Chaldæan tyrant heat the furnace sevenfold for the pious ones; but, beholding them saved by a higher Power, he cried out to the Creator and Deliverer: Ye children, bless; ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Bright as a mirror, O Dionysius, and having by virtue made thy mind the receptacle of pure revelations, O thou who art most rich, receiving rays of effulgence which pass understanding, thou didst cry out: Ye priests, bless; ye people, exalt Christ supremely for all ages!
Theotokion: O most immaculate Mother of God, cause thou the sores of my soul and the wounds of sin to vanish; for thou gavest birth to the Son Who hath authority readily to release from unbreakable bonds those bound with the chains of sin: the one Benefactor, the one Bestower of life.
The most abundant grace was poured forth in thy lips; wherefore, thou didst set forth divine doctrines, extending unto us understanding past knowing, and manifestly and splendidly disclosing it unto those who with faith chant: Ye priests, bless; ye people, exalt Christ supremely for all ages!
Through thee, O Dionysius, hath the most glorious metropolitan see of Athens become most renowned, and it offereth thee to the King of all as its sacred first-fruits, ever chanting: Ye children, bless; ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt Him supremely for all ages!
