Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: I have heard report of Thee, O Lord, that Thou hast appeared on earth to save us. Wherefore, we cry out: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!

¶2

The people of Israel who were worshipping deaf idols didst thou denounce; wherefore, thou didst tell them that they would be exiled, O right-wondrous one.

¶3

Theotokion: The Word Who made His abode within thee, O pure one, hath reformed mine essence, which fell of old through disobedience.

¶4

Thee who first wast a shepherd did God show to be a prophet, taking thee for Himself, O sacred Amos. Wherefore, with faith we all call thee blessed.

¶5

Reflecting rays of light through the radiance of the Holy Spirit like a mirror, O Amos, rejoicing, thou showest forth piety unto all.
