Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.

¶2

Possessed of a pure mind ascending to heaven, O most blessed one, thou didst lay hold of the never-fading flower of understanding and wisdom.

¶3

Theotokion: O all-immaculate one, thou wast the annulment of the curse of our first mother, having conceived Him Who hath crowned us with divine blessings.

¶4

Thou didst let fall the healing of thy words upon the souls of the Orthodox, O divinely revealed one, and by thy teachings didst overturn the ground of the ignorant.

¶5

Shining like the sun, thy discourse active and thy life inviolate, thou dost illumine the foundation of the honored Church.
