Ode IV

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Beholding Thee lifted up upon the Cross, O Sun of righteousness, the Church stood rooted in place, crying out as is meet: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!

¶2

Having mortified thy carnal-mindedness, O father Acacius, thou didst enliven thy soul, and hast received a crown of righteousness, crying out: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!

¶3

Theotokion: Thou art more pure than the heavens and the noetic hosts, O all-pure one, having given birth to their Creator; wherefore, we cry out to thee: Rejoice, O most hymned Theotokos!

¶4

Undertaking lengthy struggles, O father, thou didst show forth patient opposition all thy days; wherefore, after death thou didst cry out like one alive: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!

¶5

With steadfast mind thou didst endure tyrannical treatment for Christ, O blessed Acacius, mindful of how He was nailed to the Cross for the salvation of our race.
