Ode I

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Traversing the deep on foot, as though it were dry land, and seeing the tyrant Pharaoh drowned, Israel cried aloud: Let us chant unto God a hymn of victory!

¶2

O wise one, who wast fortunate in the virtues and radiant with the shining splendors of the gifts of God: by thy supplications deliver me from the vexation of the passions.

¶3

Theotokion: Receiving thy Creator from thy seedless womb, incarnate in manner past understanding, as He Himself desired, O pure one, thou wast truly shown to be the Mistress of creation.

¶4

A shoot planted by heaven in the courts of God, thou didst truly put forth the abundant fruits of virtuous works and miracles, O blessed Eutychius.

¶5

Having made thy mind thy master, O venerable one, thou didst restrain the tyranny of the passions; wherefore, furnished with wings of dispassion, thou wast borne aloft to the very mansions of God.
