Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Waking at dawn, we cry to Thee: Save us, O Lord! For Thou art our God, and we know none other than Thee.

¶2

Led by the power of the Spirit to suffer lawfully, O divinely wise martyr, thou didst put the iniquitous to shame.

¶3

Theotokion: O Theotokos, thou gavest birth to the incomprehensible and unapproachable God in the guise of the flesh.

¶4

Having boldly trodden the path of martyrdom, O glorious one, thou didst shatter the darts of the enemy.

¶5

The nails which were driven through thy feet, O divinely wise one, utterly crushed the head of the adverse foe.
