Ode VII

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: The divinely wise youths worshipped not a creation rather than the Creator, but, manfully trampling the threat of the fire underfoot, they rejoice, chanting: Blessed art Thou, the all-hymned God of our fathers!

¶2

Theotokion: With thy divine words, O apostle, thou didst describe the all-hymned Virgin who gave birth to the Creator. To Him do we all chant: O all-hymned Lord and God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶3

Thou wast a divine image of the primal Effulgence, as a disciple set afire by His splendors; and, chanting to Him, thou didst say: O all-hymned Lord and God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶4

As servant of the Word, O most blessed one, thou hast made thine abode in the divine mansions where Christ abideth, as the one all-divine Lord and God of all the fathers promised thee.

¶5

Infirmities are banished and a multitude of demons are forced to flee by the gifts of the divine Spirit which are in thee, wherein thou didst chant: O all-hymned Lord and God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
