Ode IV

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: O Word, with divine vision the prophet perceived Thee Who wast to become incarnate of the Theotokos alone, the mountain overshadowed; and with fear he glorified Thy power.

¶2

Paul greeteth thee as a kinsman, proclaiming thy divine praises before the faithful, O divinely eloquent Andronicus, who leadest to the Light those who praise thee.

¶3

Theotokion: O Virgin Theotokos, all of us, the faithful, together ever hymn thee as the steadfast and prevailing intercession and salvation of our souls.

¶4

As a dwelling-place of the all-holy Trinity, thou didst demolish the offensive temples, O all-lauded one, and didst raise up churches for the salvation of our souls.

¶5

Strengthened by the might of God, O blessed Andronicus, thou wast able to remove the vessels of the mighty one and to make a dwelling-place of the Holy Spirit.
