Ode IV

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Beholding Thee lifted up upon the Cross, O Sun of righteousness, the Church stood rooted in place, crying out as is meet: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!

¶2

Having with prayer made thyself steadfast against the torrents of iniquity, O most blessed one, thou didst flee turmoil; and as is meet thou didst drink of the torrent of sweetness, O most blessed one.

¶3

Causing thy faith and love for God to grow, O God-bearer, thou didst mount to the lofty heights of belonging to God, crying out: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!

¶4

Theotokion: Manifestly knowing thee to be her who gave birth to God the Word in the flesh, all of us, the faithful, truly call thee the Theotokos, giving thee a title appropriate to the nature of things.
