Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: With Thy divine light illumine the souls of those who with love rise at dawn unto Thee, O Good One, that they may know Thee, O Word of God, to be the true God Who calleth all forth from the darkness of sin.

¶2

Courageously enduring separation from the flock entrusted to thee, O father, thou wast unjustly banished; but straightway thou didst joyfully hasten back to it, greatly praised by all.

¶3

Theotokion: O good Mistress of the world, save those who confess thee to be the Theotokos with all their soul; for thee, who art the Theotokos, have we acquired as an unassailable intercession.

¶4

Not in indistinct images dost thou now behold the glory of God, which thou didst desire from thy childhood, O blessed Eutychius, but face to face, the mirror of thy flesh broken, O our father.

¶5

Thy soul, full of divine water, O father, truly poured forth rivers of doctrine upon the Church, O wise Eutychius, and thou dost irrigate the furrows thereof.
