Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: All things are filled with awe at thy divine glory; for thou, O Virgin who hast not known wedlock, didst contain within thy womb Him Who is God over all, and gavest birth to the timeless Son, granting peace unto all who hymn thee.

¶2

With the drops of thy sacred blood thou didst extinguish the fire of ungodliness, O athlete Emilian; wherefore, thou hast poured forth a wellspring of miracles, which drieth up the lake of the passions, drowneth infirmities and doth engulf the demons.

¶3

Theotokion: With thine effective remedies heal me who am wounded with the sword of sin, O thou who gavest birth to Christ the Savior, Who for my sake was wounded with the spear and hath pierced the heart of the serpent.

¶4

The wicked one ordered thee stretched out and beaten; wherefore, as thy body was lacerated and subjected to flogging, O athlete, thou didst depict the blessed suffering of Him Who was wounded on the Cross.

¶5

Filled with spiritual gifts, O right wondrous one, thou healest the incurable ailments of the sick, causeth the burning of fever to cease, drivest out evil spirits and helpest all amid their griefs.
