Ode V

Irmos: Glory to Thee! Glory to Thee, O Jesus, Son of God, Who hast shone forth the light, hast illumined the morning, and made manifest the day!

With the light of the teaching of Christ thou didst illumine the Irish land, O Patrick, rejoicing in thy newly chosen flock and rendering glory unto God.

Theotokion: O Mary Theotokos, who shone forth the Sun of righteousness upon the world and dispelled the darkness: Drive away from the world the night of wicked belief!

Irmos: Thou art a Mediator between God and man, O Christ God; for by Thee, O Master, are we led up out of the night of ignorance to Thy Father, the Source of light.

Thou didst open the noetic eyes of those who before were blinded by unbelief and languished in the darkness of ignorance; and thou didst move them to glorify Christ the Savior with all the faithful.

Theotokion: He that dwelleth in light made His abode in thy holy womb, O pure one, fashioning anew the world that had perished through the darkness of ignorance. Him do thou beseech, that He enlighten all that hymn thee.

Tirelessly didst thou preach the Orthodox Faith, standing and teaching whatever the condition of the weather, weeping copiously and crying out to Christ God Who rendered thee aid: Glory to Thy power, O Son of God!

Ever watering thy soul with the sacred streams of thy tears, thou didst truly produce grain an hundredfold, storing it up well for the immortal Husbandman.

Thou wast seen on earth, O right wondrous father, emulating the life of the bodiless ones in thy great abstinence and in the care thou didst take in thy prayers, whereby thou wast illumined as with a light.

With the fire of prayers didst thou utterly consume the tinder of sin, O wise one; by thy standing in vigils thou didst lull every alluring pleasure to sleep; and in thy repose didst thou pass over to unwaning splendor.
