Ode IV

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Beholding Thee lifted up upon the Cross, O Sun of righteousness, the Church stood rooted in place, crying out as is meet: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!

¶2

By all-night vigils and standing for whole days, O divinely wise father, thou didst cause all the movements of the flesh to subside, and, rejoicing, thou didst cry aloud: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!

¶3

Theotokion: Thou wast adorned with spiritual beauties, having conceived the Word Who is equally unoriginate with the Father and given birth to Him in the flesh, O most immaculate Virgin. Him do thou entreat in behalf of the world.

¶4

With the powers of thy soul thou didst subdue the perversity of thy flesh, O divinely wise one; and thou didst receive the grace to drive away evil spirits and to wash away infirmities, O most blessed one.

¶5

Strengthened by divine power, O holy hierarch, thou didst vanquish all the hordes of the demons in that thou art the namesake of victory, and thou hast inherited a wreath of miracles from the Bestower of crowns.
