Ode VIII

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: From the flame didst Thou pour forth dew upon the venerable ones, and didst consume the sacrifice of the righteous one with water; for Thou, O Christ, dost do all things soever Thou desirest. Thee do we exalt supremely for all ages!

¶2

Offered wholly to the Almighty, thou wast instructed in the mysteries by way of foreknowledge, teaching the gentiles in accordance with God’s providence. Wherefore, we hymn thee, O divinely eloquent prophet.

¶3

Theotokion: Giving birth to God, the Lord and Bestower of life, O all-pure one, thou didst abolish the unrestrained tyranny of death, slaying it. Wherefore, we hymn thee for all ages.

¶4

Offer up a hymn of supplication in behalf of those who hymn thee, O divinely blessed one, and put an end to the turmoil of temptations, that we may hymn thee, O divinely eloquent prophet.
