Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.

¶2

With keen intellect and purity of soul thou didst go unharmed over the stumbling-blocks in thy path, O father.

¶3

Theotokion: Possessed of a mind full of right doctrines, with love we all bless thee and call thee the Theotokos, O all-pure one.

¶4

Through grace, O Auxentius, was thy life radiant, thy faith Orthodox, thine abstinence wondrous and thy discourse temperate.

¶5

With evenness of thought thou didst pass through life, O father, passing over transitory things and ever cleaving to those things which are eternal.
