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

By thy supplications unto God, O Glyceria, deliver me from the bitterness of the passions, that I may hymn thy memory and glorify thy mighty struggles.

¶3

Theotokion: Having truly given birth to Him Who is God by nature, bearing Him by divine birthgiving, O pure Theotokos, thou dost truly hear the name which is above every name.

¶4

Wounded by the love of Christ, with the armor of the Cross thou didst vanquish the enemy and didst receive the crown of victory, O all-praised virgin Glyceria.

¶5

Those who offered worship unto stones cast stones at thee as thou didst gaze with thy soul upon the Master, the living Rock, Who hath granted thee victory, O bride of God.
