Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Thou didst dispel the darkness of my sin, O Lord, when Thou didst shine forth the radiant dawn of Thy commandments, O Light unapproachable.

¶2

With thy splendid preaching thou didst dispel the gloom of godlessness; and with thy divinely radiant confession thou didst put the enemy to shame, O Trophimus, athlete of Christ.

¶3

Theotokion: We hymn thee, O undefiled vessel of God, who among virgins gave birth and among mothers was a pure virgin, from whom the Lord, the Savior of all, came forth.

¶4

As thou didst love God with a divine love, O martyr, true to thy name thou wast shown to be the expulsion of ruination which is abominable to God, being an excellent martyr of Christ.

¶5

Putting on honor as a robe of purple dyed in your own blood, O martyrs, as emulators of the God of all ye reign with Him in the heavens.

¶6

Triadicon: O Trinity equal in glory and honor: unoriginate and unbegotten Father, begotten Son and Holy Spirit, Thou art my God, O Lord, Thou Light unapproachable.
