Ode VI

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Beholding the sea of life surging with the tempest of temptations, fleeing to Thy calm haven I cry unto Thee: Lead up my life from corruption, O greatly Merciful One!

¶2

Kontakion, in Tone VIII—

¶3

Within thee the Trinity dwelt as in a habitation cleansed of the confusion of the passions, O divinely wise Eutychius, and thou wast truly filled with gifts whereby thou dost ever dispel every infirmity.

¶4

Theotokion: O all-pure Mistress who for men gavest birth unto the Helmsman and Lord: still thou the inconstant and cruel vexation of my passions, and grant tranquillity to my soul.

¶5

Having truly acquired lofty virtue in thy heart, thou wast exalted; and thou didst lay low all the wiles of the demons, O all-glorious hierarch of the Lord.

¶6

Having painlessly traversed the sea of life, O father, thou didst reach the refuge of the kingdom of heaven, and didst save the freight of thy soul for God, O right wondrous one.

¶7

Chanting, all ye people, with faith and love let us bless the godly Eutychius as a great pastor and minister, an all-wise teacher and expeller of heresies; for he entreateth the Lord in behalf of us all.
