Ode I

Irmos: Let us chant unto the Lord, Who led His people through the Red Sea, for He alone hath gloriously been glorified.

Canon of the hieromartyr, the acrostic whereof is: “I hymn thee, the flower of pastors and martyrs,” in Tone VIII—

Theotokion: O all-pure Theotokos, who in manner past nature gavest birth unto the eternal and all-divine Word incarnate: we hymn thee.

Irmos: That which had been hewn down cut through the undivided, and the sun saw land which it had not seen before; the water engulfed the cruel enemy, and Israel traversed the impassible, and chanted the hymn: Let us sing to the Lord, for gloriously is He glorified!

Receiving a wreath of piety plaited of the dual strands of hierarchy and martyrdom, thou art blessed by Christ, O all-glorious one.

Theotokion: Having thee as their hope of salvation, O Virgin Mother of God, who gavest birth unto the Word, the all-wise ones, the beloved Euthymius and the divine Theoctistus, shone forth upon all with divine knowledge in abstinence, crying out to the Lord: For gloriously hath He been glorified!

Irmos: Let us chant unto the Lord, Who led His people through the Red Sea, for He alone hath gloriously been glorified.

Thy sacred minister is brought to Thee, the Chief Shepherd, like an innocent and pure lamb, on the arms of the iniquitous.

Theotokion: The ranks of angels and the choirs of the righteous, monks and laymen, paupers and kings, together hymn the Theotokos.

Thou didst demolish the bastions of the heretics with the boldness of piety, O hierarch, preaching the uncreated Trinity.

Canon of the Venerable One, the acrostic whereof is: “I recount thy struggles, O Theoctistus,” the composition of Theophanes, in Tone VIII—

Smitten with the desire for dispassion, O wise father Theoctistus, thou didst quell the uprisings of the flesh, aided by God. And now, entreat the Lord, that we be filled with noetic light who chant: For gloriously hath He been glorified!

The great Euthymius, having cleaved to thee with divine love, O father Theoctistus, abiding with thee mightily, trod the path of abstinence with true activity; and with thee he cried out: Let us sing unto the Lord, for gloriously hath He been glorified!

Thou didst subjugate thy body, O all-blessed Theoctistus, enslaving the carnal passions, for thou didst receive the effulgence of grace; and, illumined therewith, didst cry out in godly manner: Let us sing unto the Lord, for gloriously hath He been glorified!

Edward the king, who shone forth in piety and was glorified by God with many miracles, let us hymn with songs of divine beauty.

Now let the land of Britain keep festival, and let the Orthodox Church be glad, glorifying the memory of the divinely wise king.

Having endured out of season a murder unjust, thou didst acquire boldness before God, O Edward. Wherefore, thou dost bestow healings upon those who honor thee.
