Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Waking at dawn, we cry to Thee: Save us, O Lord! For Thou art our God, and we know none other than Thee.

¶2

Theotokion: Still thou the inconstant tempest of my passions, O thou who gavest birth to God the Helmsman and Lord.

¶3

The virgins, having acquired the passion-bearers as companions, laid hold of the perfect crown of victory, rejoicing.

¶4

Illumined by the radiance of divine effulgence, O all-praised martyrs, ye ever enlighten the world.

¶5

Emulating the sufferings of the Lord, O invincible passion-bearers, with valiant mind ye endured pain.

Translated by Isaac Lambertsen. Edition menaion.en.lambertsen.
