Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Thou art a Mediator between God and man, O Christ God; for by Thee, O Master, are we led up out of the night of ignorance to Thy Father, the Source of light.

¶2

As one who art meek, thou makest thy habitation in the land of the meek, O wise and ever-memorable Nicetas, being a champion of the truth, splendidly adorned with the crown of confession.

¶3

Theotokion: Mindful of thy words, we now call thee blessed, O all-immaculate one; for through thee have we truly received ineffable blessedness and life which ageth not.

¶4

Thou hast now passed on to light divine, O venerable one, being a beloved child of the light, joyously making thine abode in joy and beauty with the angelic choirs.

¶5

Thou hast now become a partaker of the ineffable sweetness of paradise; for thou wast shown to be a most calm haven for the tempest-tossed and a nurturer of the hungry, O blessed one.
