Ode VIII

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Stretching forth his hands, Daniel shut the lions’ mouths in the pit; and the young lovers of piety, girded about with virtue, quenched the power of the fire, crying out: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!

¶2

As an exceeding all-laudable martyr of Christ, devoid of all deceitfulness, thou didst theologize concerning His power, teaching all with divine wisdom, and thou didst draw to piety the people who chant: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord! Twice

¶3

Theotokion: O ye faithful, we confess the Son and the Holy Spirit Who have Their origin in the Father, saying that the only-begotten Word Who is equally unoriginate with the Father and the divine Spirit became incarnate of thee, O most immaculate one; and we cry: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!

¶4

Having manifestly wedded thyself to Christ, thou didst extinguish all the assaults of the tyrant, pouring forth an abyss of wisdom, O most honored martyr Pelagia; and thou hast been adorned with a threefold crown, chanting: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
