Ode I

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: O Lord, Thou didst deliver Israel from slavery with Thy mighty right hand. Save Thou us now, as Thou didst save them.

¶2

Having arrived from the confines of the wilderness, O venerable and holy one, thou didst make firm the Faith of Christ, scattering the assembly of heretics.

¶3

Theotokion: Having conceived the Timeless Son Who was begotten of the Father, O all-pure and immaculate Virgin, thou gavest birth to Him as a babe.

¶4

Thou wast in nowise ashamed to address the emperor as Nathan did David, O glorious one, desiring to make steadfast the Church of Christ.

¶5

Cast into the mire by the deceived, O all-praised and glorious one, thou didst shine forth like a pearl lustrous with the splendor of the Spirit.
