Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Send down upon us Thine enlightenment, O Lord, and free us from the gloom of transgressions, O Good One, granting us Thy peace.

¶2

With manly mind thou didst manifestly confess Christ, the God of all; and with steadfast discourse thou didst put the adversary to shame, O passion-bearer.

¶3

Theotokion: Having learned of the mystery of thy conception and thine ineffable and divine birthgiving, O Virgin, we now hymn thee with all honor, O most hymned Theotokos.

¶4

Thou didst desire to follow the sufferings of Christ, and, suffering like the Master, thou didst fervently follow Him, O thou who art most rich.

¶5

Legions of martyrs didst thou lead to Christ by thy wisdom and divine discourse, O glorious one, truly teaching them the mysteries by thy words of faith.
