Righteous Joseph the Patriarch - Troparion & Kontakion

Kontakion — Tone 8

(Podoben: “As first-fruits of our nature...” – Kontakion for Sunday of All Saints)
Jacob lamented the loss of Joseph, / but the noble one was seated in a chariot and honored as a king; / for when he refused to be enslaved by the desires of the Egyptian woman, / he was glorified by Him who beholds the hearts of men, / and bestows an incorruptible crown.
