Irmos: Sometimes Babylon was ashamed of God’s descent of fire. For this reason, the young man in the cave, with rejoicing feet, as in a flower garden, rejoicing, said: Blessed are you, God our father.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
A sinner, a lawless one, an untruthful one before the Lord, but, my Lady Theotokos, as the Good One, quench the fire of His righteous anger with Your warm intercession, so let us sing to Him: Father of ours, God, blessed are you.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
In the cave of temptations and troubles, the scorched ones are irrigated, O Mother of God, by the streams of Your bounty, so that our enemies may be put to shame and may everyone understand that You are the only Lady Mother of God throughout the entire universe glorified.
Glory: Throne of the King of Glory, Most Honest Cherub, animate church, in which the Lord dwells, the firmament of Heaven, on which the Sun of Truth rises, Christ, we praise Thee, Theotokos, and we exalt to all ages.
And now: You are the joy of those who live in the deserts, You are the consolation and praise of the capital city, O Virgin Mary, praised and exalted forever.
