Ode I

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Traversing the deep on foot, as though it were dry land, and seeing the tyrant Pharaoh drowned, Israel cried aloud: Let us chant unto God a hymn of victory!

¶2

Illumined with the divine and radiant grace of the Savior, O blessed Onesimus, illumine my darkened soul, entreating Christ God Who loveth mankind.

¶3

Theotokion: Adorned with the beauty of the virtues, O pure Mother of God, thou didst ineffably conceive the true God Who hath illumined us with divine virtues.

¶4

Enlightened by the radiant beams of Paul, O glorious and most blessed one, thou didst easily escape the darkness of ignorance, uttering a hymn of thanksgiving unto Christ.

¶5

Thou wast shown to be a divine sacred minister, O all-blessed one, and, shining radiantly with the divine Spirit, thou didst go about everywhere, proclaiming Christ piously, O blessed one of God.
