Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: O Almighty Deliverer of all, descending into the midst of the flame Thou didst bedew the pious youths and didst teach them to chant: Bless and hymn the Lord, all ye works!

¶2

Devising profitable salvation for thee who sought the relics of the right-victorious martyrs, O Boniface, Christ strengthened thee, that thou thyself mightest become such a one through faith.

¶3

Theotokion: The All-divine One, descending upon thee, the pure one, became incarnate, as He knew how, O Virgin, and hath deified men who chant: Bless and hymn the Lord, all ye works!

¶4

Thou wast given as a blessed treasure to thy blessed lady, O blessed one; and having been enriched thereby, she chanted with gladness of heart: Bless and hymn the Lord, all ye works!

¶5

Having erected a most sacred temple with zeal, the glorious woman enshrined thee therein, who art the temple of the divine Trinity, O Boniface, passion-bearer of Christ.

¶6

Having died for love of the Creator Who slayeth the corrupting passions, by thy supplication clearly bestow life upon those who cry: Bless and hymn the Lord, all ye works!
