Ode IV

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: I have heard, O Lord, the mystery of Thy dispensation; I have understood Thy works, and have glorified Thy divinity.

¶2

Led like a lamb to the slaughter, O martyr, thou didst in no wise cry out, emulating thy Master, for Whose sake thou didst brave even death.

¶3

Theotokion: Delighting in thine all-pure gifts, we chant unto thee a hymn of thanksgiving, acknowledging thee to be the Theotokos.

¶4

Adorned with chastity, and living thereby, thou didst set at nought the enemy, O Sabinas, enduring convulsions and wounds with thy steadfast mind.

¶5

Having glorified Christ with thy fleshly members, O martyr, thou didst receive a divine and imperishable habitation with the souls of the ­righteous.
