Ode IV

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: I have heard, O Lord, the mystery of Thy dispensation; I have understood Thy works, and have glorified Thy divinity.

¶2

Making entreaty to God, O father, thou didst cast down the vaunted thought of wicked heresy and didst gladden the Church.

¶3

Theotokion: O pure Virgin, entreat God Who was born of thee, that He grant forgiveness of offenses to thy servants.

¶4

The Judge of the contest hath caused thee to dwell in the tabernacles of heaven, O father, accepting thy tireless opposition to those who fought against Him.

¶5

For the sake of the Traditions preserved in the Church of God, thou didst endure exile; and, winning victories, thou didst repose.
