Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: All things are filled with awe at thy divine glory; for thou, O Virgin who hast not known wedlock, didst contain within thy womb Him Who is God over all, and gavest birth to the timeless Son, granting peace unto all who hymn thee.

¶2

Thou didst bring the pasturage and corruption of heresy to an end, O divinely wise father, applying a most excellent remedy: thy splendid confession of thy dogmas, which is pure beyond understanding, and thy divine zeal.

¶3

Theotokion: The timeless and unoriginate Word hath now come under time, receiving animate and noetic flesh from thee, O pure Virgin who knewest not wedlock, granting peace to all who hymn thee.

¶4

The grace of the Holy Spirit was poured forth in abundance in thy lips, O most blessed one, truly finding thee to be a mighty and all-excellent champion of Orthodoxy for the faithful. Wherefore, thou hast illumined the councils of the godly.

¶5

Thou didst fell the blasphemy of Arius and Macedonius with the sling of thy divinely inspired dogmas and doctrines, O Paul, as David did the Philistine, and, having first strangled them, thou didst cast them down utterly.
