Ode IX

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Saved by thee, O pure Virgin, we confess thee to be in truth the Theotokos, magnifying thee with the incorporeal choirs.

¶2

Thou wast vouchsafed to behold things afar off for which thy sacred soul did long, O father; and, rejoicing, thou hast made thine abode in unwaning splendor.

¶3

Theotokion: O right beloved Virgin, bless thou my soul which hath been afflicted by sin, O thou who gavest birth in the flesh unto our all-good God.

¶4

By thy divine eloquence, good works and the most honorable splendors of thy sufferings wast thou shown to be adorned, O blessed Eusebius.

¶5

Let us form a joyous chorus, praising the sacred Eusebius who was adorned with the beauty of piety.

¶6

Thy shrine imparteth the grace of healing, and thine holy memory illumineth the world like a great sun, O Eusebius.
