Ode VIII

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Trampling down the fire and flame in the furnace, the divinely eloquent youths did chant: Bless the Lord, O ye works of the Lord!

¶2

As a holy hierarch and martyr, O sacred preacher Eusebius, with the holy hierarchs and martyrs, entreat the Savior of all that He open unto us His mercy.

¶3

Theotokion: As thou art more highly exalted than the heights of heaven, thou didst give birth unto the exalted Word Who hath raised up from earth fallen human nature, O all-hymned one.

¶4

Living blessedly, thou didst shepherd thy sacred flock with the staff of thy words and didst drive away the wild beasts of heresy, O most blessed one.

¶5

Denouncing those who were afflicted with the drunkenness of deception and those who vainly propounded heresy, thou wast slain by them, O Eusebius, having suffered steadfastly.
