Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.

¶2

O Bestower of life, the divinely wise one acquired Thee as a splendid crown of praise and went forth from darkness to divine effulgence.

¶3

Theotokion: O Mother of God, thou gavest birth unto the form of divinity and the form of humanity, the union unconfused through unconfused union.

¶4

Christ set thy feet on the rock of faith, O blessed one, and thou didst wisely direct thy steps to Him.

¶5

Possessed of a truly divine, wise mind which thought of God, O most blessed Matrona, thou shinest forth amongst the choir of martyrs.
