¶1

Irmos: The Lord Who was glorified on the holy mountain, and by the fire in the bush revealed to Moses the mystery of the Ever-virgin, hymn ye and exalt Him supremely for all ages!

¶2

Bowing down before thy precious relics and calling upon thy name in prayer, O Edward most God-loving king, we hymn the Lord and exalt Him supremely for all ages.

¶3

Celebrating the memory of the divinely honored king, and marvelling at the wonders that have been wrought by his relics, rejoicing in God we cry aloud: Hymn ye the Lord, and exalt Him supremely for all ages!

¶4

Theotokion: To men didst thou reveal Him upon Whom the angels dare not gaze. Reveal to us also His ineffable mercy, that we may exalt thee supremely for all ages.

¶5

Having vanquished all the wiles of hades and put to shame the devisings of the impious, summoned to the heavenly kingdom thou didst chant, O holy king: Hymn ye the Lord, and exalt Him supremely for all ages!
