ODE IV

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Out of love for Thine image Thou didst stand affixed to the Cross, O Compassionate One, and the nations melted away; for Thou art my strength and boast, O Thou Who lovest mankind.

¶2

Speaking as a rhetor concerning the mighty works of the Master, thou didst convert the hearts of the disobedient Jews to the divine Faith, in that thou art the foundation of the Faith.

¶3

Theotokion: The King of all, having made His abode in thy holy womb as in a spacious palace, appeared incarnate, O all-immaculate Mistress.

¶4

Thy journeys were known unto their Object: Him Who with all-abundant love walked upon the waters, O Peter, and related to thee the ways of God.

¶5

As thy divine chains possess the power to heal all manner of ailments, O blessed one, we kiss them with faith, honoring thee.
