Ode IV

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: I have heard report of Thy dispensation, O Lord, and have glorified Thee Who alone lovest mankind.

¶2

In mortifying the pleasures of the body with night-long entreaties, thou didst show thyself to be a perpetually burning lamp of dispassion, O venerable one.

¶3

Theotokion: O Mistress who knewest not wedlock, who conceived God in thy womb, deliver all from temptations and grief.

¶4

Ever laving thyself with streams of tears, O all-blessed one, thou didst show thyself to be a pure receptacle for the Holy Spirit.

¶5

A holy hierarch humble and meek, sympathetic, guileless and chaste, wast thou, O venerable one.
