Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: The Angel caused the furnace to pour forth dew upon the pious youths, and the command of God, which consumed the Chaldæans, prevailed upon the tyrant to cry out: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!

¶2

Thy memory hath shone upon the world like the sun, illumining with the grace of thy prophecy those who with faith chant together: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!

¶3

Theotokion: Desiring in His divine will to restore man, the Word, Who of old gave all things existence, made His abode within thy womb, O pure and blessed one, who gavest birth unto God in the flesh.

¶4

Shown forth as a cloud heavy laden with rain, thou didst let fall upon us a shower of divine knowledge from the springs of salvation, O blessed one, whereby we are enlightened to cry out: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!
