Ode VII

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: In the furnace the Hebrew children boldly trod the flame underfoot and transformed the fire into dew, crying out: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶2

That thou mightest receive incorruptible glory, thou didst spurn the glory of life for the sake of the glory of God, O Sabinas, taking delight in thy torments and crying out unceasingly: Blessed art Thou, O God! Twice

¶3

Theotokion: The Word of God Who became incarnate of thy womb, O Theotokos, hath saved the world. And honoring Him, we hymn thee, crying aloud: Blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, O all-pure one!

¶4

At the divine behest of the Master thou didst reject the abomination of the godless, having manifestly chosen godly wisdom, O Sabinas, unceasingly chanting: Blessed art Thou, O God!
