Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: O Lord, Bestower of light and Creator of the ages: guide us in the light of Thy commandments, for we know none other God than Thee.

¶2

Theotokion: With thy divine radiance heal thou the passions which ever assail us because of our negligence, O good one; for the holy Sophronius maketh supplication for this.

¶3

Gathering together this day, O ye people of the flock of Irkutsk, as many of us as have been baptized into Christ, let us clothe ourselves in spiritual joy, glorifying the memory of the holy hierarch.

¶4

As an emulator of the love of Christ, do thou quell all our hatred for our brethren, that, aided by thee in the love of the Gospel, we may reverently praise thee.

¶5

Thou wast shown to be undaunted in the work of the Lord, O Sophronius, subjecting thyself in all things to His holy will, in nowise looking to please men, but ever chanting: I know none other God than Thee!
