Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, Who saved the children of Abraham in the fire, slaying the Chaldæans whom justice rightly overtook: blessed art Thou!

¶2

Receiving from on high the dew of endurance amid the fire of torments, with the children the valiant martyrs cried out: O all-hymned Lord and God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶3

Theotokion: Blessed is the fruit of thy blessed womb, Whom the hosts of Heaven and the assemblies of men bless, and Who hath delivered us from the ancient curse, O blessed one.

¶4

The stone which before was dry hath been filled with the rain of your precious blood, O passion-bearers, pouring forth streams of healing upon those who chant: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶5

As a noetic phial doth the shrine of thy relics pour forth the myrrh of healings, O Codratus, dispersing the fœtor of the passions and burning the regiments of the demons with divine power.
