Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: O Lord, Bestower of light and Creator of the ages: guide us in the light of Thy commandments, for we know none other God than Thee.

¶2

The all-pure Light which abode within thee, O father, made thee wholly luminous, enlightening the faithful with the splendid effulgence of thy virtues.

¶3

Theotokion: With faith and godly voices do we hymn thee, O all-holy and pure one, as the beauty of Jacob, who gavest birth for us to God in the flesh, before Whom all things tremble.

¶4

By thy mercy thou wast wealth for the poor and didst manifestly rise up as a physician for those in sickness, removing their ailments with healing.

¶5

Thou didst show thyself truly to be a pure temple of the all-holy and honored Spirit, cleansing away the filth of the passions, O God-bearing father; wherefore, we praise thee.
