Ode I

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Having traversed the water as though it were dry land, and escaped the evil of Egypt, the Israelite cried aloud: Let us chant unto our Deliverer and God!

¶2

Known before thou was created, thou wast sanctified from thy mother’s womb, and wast anointed a prophet to the nations, crying out: Let us chant to our Deliverer and God!

¶3

Theotokion: Having, in manner transcending nature, given birth to the Word of the Father, Who made His abode in thee on earth, O Virgin Theotokos, thou hast been shown to be the Mistress of all creatures.

¶4

He Who before all had understanding, foreseeing the movements of thy mind, O divinely manifest Jeremiah, ordained thee an instructor for the people.

¶5

Having cleansed the sight of thy thought from carnal defilements, O wise one, thou didst show thyself to be a witness to the Truth beloved of thy Creator.
