Ode VIII

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: From the flame didst Thou pour forth dew upon the venerable ones, and didst consume the sacrifice of the righteous one with water; for Thou, O Christ, dost do all things soever Thou desirest. Thee do we exalt supremely for all ages!

¶2

Steadfastly didst thou oppose the vain-minded one who sought to compel thee to worship his strange and abominable gods, O athlete. Wherefore, having suffered lawfully, thou hast been glorified.

¶3

Theotokion: Offer supplication to God the Creator, that He save our souls and deliver us from the grasp of the passions and the temptation of evil-doers, O divinely joyous one.

¶4

Those wounded by the onslaughts of the demons were healed by thy divine teachings and received deliverance from sorrows, hymning thy grace, O divinely wise one.

¶5

Those who have recourse with faith to the shrine of the venerable one draw forth the healing of all manner of ailments, for it is manifestly replete with the grace of the Spirit and quencheth the passions with torrents thereof.
