Ode VII

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: The children of Abraham in the Persian furnace, afire with love of piety more than with the flame, cried out: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!

¶2

In that thou wast wounded by the divine love of the Master, O father, thou didst direct towards Him all the unremitting love of thy heart, crying out: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord! Twice

¶3

Theotokion: Desiring to restore to a higher plane human nature which of old had become corrupt, God the Creator made His abode within thy womb, O only all-pure and most hymned one.

¶4

Illumined with the radiance of the Savior, O most wise one, thou didst sternly rebuke the prince of darkness and didst cast down the prince of this world, crying: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!
