Ode IV

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Christ is my power, my God and my Lord, the honored Church doth sing, crying out in godly manner with a pure mind, keeping festival in the Lord.

¶2

Setting fire to thy heart with torrents of tears, O blessed and venerable one, thou didst cultivate the seed of the virtues with pure thought, O venerable Procopius.

¶3

Theotokion: Having conceived the Creator outside the laws of nature, O most immaculate one, thou gavest birth to Him without corruption, and didst surely become the true Theotokos.

¶4

Thou didst subject earthly wisdom to the divine, O father, taking up a life of fasting and joining the choirs of the martyrs, O most blessed one.

¶5

As a martyr divine and most true in piety, thou didst denounce the insanity of the heretics; for thou didst manfully disdain the cruelty of the ungodly.
