Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.

¶2

Thou wast a true martyr among priests and a holy hierarch among martyrs, O Hippolytus, and thou art resplendent with twofold gifts.

¶3

Theotokion: We set thee as an invincible weapon against the enemy, O Bride of God, and have acquired thee as our trust and hope of salvation.

¶4

As a rock with golden luster and magnificence, O Hippolytus, thy suffering was adorned with the splendor of thy hierarchy.

¶5

With piety thou didst refute the myths of the Greeks and with grace thou didst set at naught the all-iniquitous falsehood of the Jews, O thou who art excellent among the martyrs.
