Ode III

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Creation, beholding Thee, Who founded the whole earth without support upon the waters, covered in the flesh by the waters, was seized with great awe, crying out: None is holy save Thee, O Lord!

¶2

Of old Thou didst show forth images of Thy theophany through the prophets, and now Thou hast spoken hidden things through Thine actions, revealing mysteries to men today, and granting new generation.

¶3

With trembling Jordan hath bowed its waters like shoulders, to receive the Creator Who is baptized bodily and sanctifieth all things, crying: None is holy save Thee, O Lord!

¶4

Through baptism Christ bestoweth great provision for salvation upon those who sense His divine effulgence, crying with gladness: None is holy save Thee, O Lord Who lovest mankind!
