Ode I

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: He Who is mighty in battle cast the chariots of Pharaoh and his power into the sea. Let us chant a new hymn, for He hath been glorified!

¶2

Come, and with martyric hymns let us hymn the hieromartyr, beholding him shining forth brightly with divinely radiant grace; and let us ever glorify Christ.

¶3

Theotokion: On Mount Sinai Moses beheld thee, O Virgin, as the bush which was unconsumed, prefiguring thee who wast not consumed by the radiance of the divine Fire; for thou gavest birth unto God.

¶4

Emulating Christ, O father, amid tribulation thou didst lay down thy life for the reason-endowed flock entrusted to thee by Him, and thou hast been adorned with a twofold crown.

¶5

Having been anointed by the sacred oil of gladness at the command of God, O Hippolytus, thou wast anointed with the blood of martyrdom.
