Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.

¶2

Shining manifestly with the radiance of their struggles, the champions of the Faith put to shame the savage character of the tyrants.

¶3

Theotokion: He Who alone is good, Who sustaineth all things by the depths of His goodness, O Mother of God, deigned to be held in thine arms.

¶4

The miracles of the martyrs have been manifestly proclaimed to all the ends of the world, and have made all steadfast through faith.

¶5

Receiving the seed of grace like good earth, the blessed ones produced riches industriously by their manner of life.
