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: God found thy womb to be a most splendid palace and made His abode therein, O most immaculate one, making children of the light those who cry: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶3

Having set your feet upon the rock of the knowledge of God, O glorious ones, ye did not pervert your hearts with the wiles of the enemy, chanting: O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶4

Never-waning light shone upon you who suffered to the shedding of your blood, O great martyrs, and gladness manifestly embraced you, who chant: O all-hymned Lord God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶5

Most diligently travelling about, O blessed ones, ye sanctified cities, confessing Christ before tyrants and granting healings unto all in need through the grace of the most Holy Spirit.
