Irmos: God, Who descended into the fiery furnace for the Hebrew children and transformed the flame into dew, hymn ye as Lord, O ye works, and exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Of the Prophet
Theotokion: With most sacred voices the most sacred prophets of God manifestly proclaimed thee, O pure one, to be the future Mother of Him Who hath dominion over all, O all-pure one. Him do we exalt supremely for all ages.
Stretching forth thy hands within the beast, as within a bridal-chamber, O divinely eloquent Jonah, thou didst cry out to God Who seest all things, saying: “O my Savior, lead my up from corruption, that my life may now again ascend unto Thee!”
Having purified thy soul’s mind of defilement, thou didst mingle it with that which thou desired, O blessed one; and, deified by divine understanding, thou becamest godly, chanting: Hymn the Lord, all ye works, and exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Of the Venerable One
Thou didst desire Christ with a pure and perfect love, O father, initiate of the sacred mysteries, and thou didst unceasingly cry out: Hymn the Lord, all ye works, and exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Forsaking the beauty of this world, O blessed one, thou didst willingly go to Christ, desiring to behold His majesty; and abiding in the holy habitations, thou dost exalt Christ supremely forever.
