Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Becoming vanquishers of the tyrant and the flame by Thy grace, taking exceeding care to keep Thy commandments, the children cried out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!

¶2

Thou wast shown to be a victor over tyrants and the spirits of evil, O glorious one, unceasingly chanting unto Him Who strengthened thee: Bless the Lord, all ye works, and exalt Him supremely forever!

¶3

Theotokion: Thou hast been shown to be more spacious than the heavens, O all-holy Maiden, having contained within thy womb Him Who delivereth from the constraint of the evil one all who chant: Bless the Lord, all ye works, and exalt Him supremely forever!

¶4

Thou didst die unto the world, steadfastly following the Master Who hath breathed life into the dead, O glorious martyr Basiliscus, and thou chantest: Bless the Lord, all ye works, and exalt Him supremely forever!

¶5

Enduring the torturing of thy body with steadfastness of soul, O divinely wise one, thou joinest chorus with the divine and incorporeal angels, offering praise to God and crying aloud: Hymn the Lord, all ye works, and exalt Him supremely forever!
