Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: With Thy divine light illumine the souls of those who with love rise at dawn unto Thee, O Good One, that they may know Thee, O Word of God, to be the true God Who calleth all forth from the darkness of sin.

¶2

Illumined with divine radiance, thou wast shown to be an all-radiant star, enlightening the world with divine signs through the Spirit of God, O holy hierarch Therapon, blessed of God.

¶3

Theotokion: After thine awesome birthgiving thou didst remain a Virgin as thou wast before; for God was born, accomplishing all by His will, O Mary who knewest not wedlock, who art full of the grace of God.

¶4

As a sacred wholeburnt offering, as a pleasing oblation, as a perfect sacrifice, thou didst offer thyself to the Word Who suffered in the flesh, O holy hierarch father Therapon, becoming a martyr.

¶5

Having truly filled the cup of confession most beautifully, O venerable Therapon, thou dost give all to drink of thy mighty suffering, calling them with exalted proclamation.
