Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Waking at dawn, we cry to Thee: Save us, O Lord! For Thou art our God, and we know none other than Thee.

¶2

Having received rays of the Holy Spirit with a purified mind, thou didst become a light to monastics.

¶3

Theotokion: O Theotokos, the incarnate Word descended upon thee like a shower, unto the enlightenment of our souls.

¶4

Thy life, shining forth through the constraint of nature, showed thee to be an earthly angel in the flesh.

¶5

Filled with the life-imparting waters of the Spirit, thou didst pour forth rivers of wonders, O father Gerasimus.
