Ode IX

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Saved by thee, O pure Virgin, we confess thee to be in truth the Theotokos, magnifying thee with the incorporeal choirs.

¶2

Ye were guided to the divine havens by the helmsmanship of Christ our God, passing over the savage waves of perils.

¶3

Theotokion: O right loving Virgin, who gavest birth to the all-good Word, heal thou my soul which hath been afflicted by sin.

¶4

Shining like stars and lamps, Irene, Agape and Chionia richly illumine all the ends of the world.

¶5

Ye have joined the choirs of the incorporeal ones, O passion-bearers, valiantly conquering the incorporeal foe with your flesh.

¶6

Your memory, resplendent with divine and radiant gifts, O passion-bearers, doth enlighten the thoughts of those who praise thee.
