Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Come, ye people, let us chant a hymn to Christ God, Who divided the sea and guided the people whom He had led forth from the bondage of Egypt, for He hath been glorified.

¶2

Radiant with the effulgence of Christ and filled with His enlightenment, O divinely wise father, illumine my darkened soul by thy prayers.

¶3

Theotokion: Knowing God Who was incarnate of thee without carnal desire, and Who was before creation and all time, we truly confess thee to be the Theotokos.

¶4

The enlightenment of the preaching of salvation shone forth with rays upon all, illumining thy pure heart like a flawless mirror, O father.

¶5

Thou wast an inscription of the new Law, O father, written not with ink, but by the Spirit of God, containing the divine Gospel of grace.
