Ode IX

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Saved by thee, O pure Virgin, we confess thee to be in truth the Theotokos, magnifying thee with the incorporeal choirs.

¶2

Spurred on by the love of the God of all, thou didst trample the river’s waves underfoot, reaching the haven of incorruption, O glorious martyr. Twice

¶3

Theotokion: Having thee as a rampart, a shelter, our only intercessor and salvation, we are ever delivered from misfortunes and transgressions.

¶4

Possessing faith in the Savior as thy foundation, thou didst not fear the assaults of the godless, but didst hasten from the river’s depths to the serenity of life.
