Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: O Christ my Savior, enlightenment of those who lie in darkness and salvation of the despairing: rising early unto Thee, O King of the world, may I be enlightened by Thy radiance, for I know none other God than Thee.

¶2

Truly showing forth a martyr’s patience, thou didst stand firm as adamant, O martyr Eugene, enduring bitter torments and crying out to the Creator with thanksgiving: We know none other God than Thee!

¶3

Theotokion: Deliver us from all harm, O most holy Virgin; for thou art the intercessor for us who cry out to thy divine Offspring: We know none other God than Thee!

¶4

By thy most sacred supplications to the Creator thou didst commit the gods of the idolaters to oblivion, O martyr Eugene; and didst endure multifarious tortures, thy whole body pitilessly beaten with staves.
