Ode I

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: I shall sing to Thee, O Lord my God; for Thou didst lead Thy people forth from the bondage of Egypt, and didst overwhelm the chariots of Pharaoh and his might.

¶2

In that Thou art the crown of the passion-bearer, O Christ, her prayers grant peace to the world and unfading glory to those who hymn Thee.

¶3

Theotokion: In manner past recounting and understanding, O holy Virgin, thou gavest birth to God the Word, Who became flesh and is like unto us.

¶4

Shining with the radiance of virginity and adorned with the beauty of thy martyrdom, O Irene of great renown, thou standest before thy Bridegroom.

¶5

Entreat thy Bridegroom, O divinely wise Irene, that He be merciful to the Churches and grant remission of offenses unto those who honor thee.
