Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: In the furnace the Hebrew children boldly trod the flame underfoot and transformed the fire into dew, crying out: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶2

Thy lauded and glorious memory, O warrior of Christ, causeth sweet-smelling myrrh to fall upon those who chant unceasingly: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶3

Theotokion: He who dwelt within the all-­immaculate Virgin annulled the curse of Eve, pouring forth a wellspring of blessing upon those who cry: Blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, O Mistress!

¶4

Ineffable glory crowneth those who are assembled to praise thee, O warrior of Christ, and who chant unceasingly: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶5

Refusing to obey the edict of the tyrant, thou didst not worship a created thing, O invincible one, but didst cry aloud to the living God alone: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!
