Ode IX

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Saved by thee, O pure Virgin, we confess thee to be in truth the Theotokos, magnifying thee with the incorporeal choirs.

¶2

Great gifts wast thou vouchsafed, having endured misfortune with steadfastness of mind, O God-bearing and divinely blessed father.

¶3

Theotokion: Thou didst shine forth like the dawn upon those lost in darkness, O Virgin, bearing in thine arms Christ the Son of righteousness.

¶4

Watch over us who hymn thee, O blessed one, delivering us from temptations and tribulations, and trampling down the snares of the heretics.

¶5

Manifest as one who as a priest lived chastely and righteously, O martyr, thou didst become splendid, weaving for thyself a cloak dyed purple in thine own blood.
