Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: O Lord, Bestower of light and Creator of the ages: guide us in the light of Thy commandments, for we know none other God than Thee.

¶2

Thou didst find the portal of virtue, O venerable one, setting at nought the wiles of the enemy; and thou hast shown thyself to be an intercessor for my life and a guide for my soul, which hath been cruelly engulfed by the tempest.

¶3

Theotokion: Thou wast a perfect man, in one Hypostasis, but in two natures, O Lord and Word; and when Thou becamest incarnate neither Thine image nor Thy form suffered.

¶4

Receiving potency for thy prayers as a gift from God, thou didst most gloriously accomplish all things, O wise one; and thou savest our souls from the depths and deliverest them from the storm of the passions.
