Ode IV

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: I heard report of Thee, O God, and I was afraid; I understood Thy works, O Lord, and I was filled with awe, for the earth is full of Thy praise.

¶2

As a torrent manifestly full of divine waters, O father Theodore, thou givest drink to the whole Church with the gifts of the Spirit.

¶3

Theotokion: Thou wast shown to be blessed by all generations, giving birth to Christ Who maketh blessed those who labor for Him, O pure Virgin Mother and Mistress.

¶4

Thou didst choke the enemy with the cords of thy pangs, O all-blessed Theodore, and didst destroy his wicked armies with the sword of thy prayers.

¶5

Meditating on the law of God, by the springs of abstinence thou didst grow a divine tree, bringing forth the goodly fruit of virtuous works.
