Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Stretching forth his hands, Daniel shut the lions’ mouths in the pit; and the young lovers of piety, girded about with virtue, quenched the power of the fire, crying out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!

¶2

Strengthened with the power of divine faith, O wise Timothy, thou hast been shown forth to us as a new Daniel, destroying the pernicious serpent; and borne aloft to the highest, thou criest out, ever chanting: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!

¶3

Theotokion: Through thy divine birthgiving our nature hath received a glorious crown. Wherefore, grant that I may become a victor in battle against the enemy, and may be crowned with the splendid crown of thy gifts, and may cry out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!

¶4

As a sacred servant thou hast entered into the joy of thy Lord; for thou didst vastly increase the talant of faith by thy pangs, sufferings and miracles, O glorious one, crying aloud: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!

¶5

Driving away the infirmities of men, O all-wise one, thou dost perfume their souls with thine anointings, doest away with their painful wounds by thy mighty gifts, and deliverest from evil spirits those who ever cry out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
