Ode VII

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

O wise victor opposing the blasphemy of the heretics with aid from on high, thou didst cry out in gladness: O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶3

Theotokion: Having sanctified thy soul and wholly purified thy body, thou didst give birth seedlessly, having conceived the power of the Most High in thy womb through the descent of the Holy Spirit upon thee, O all-immaculate one.

¶4

Wholly dedicated to God, O wise one, soaring over the plantation of the ascetics, thou didst plant a meadow by thine instructions in the virtues, consecrating it to God Who is in the highest.

¶5

Obedient to the law of Christ, to those who asked thou didst piously distribute the riches of thy knowledge, crying aloud: O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
