Ode VII

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: The children of Abraham in the Persian furnace, afire with love of piety more than with the flame, cried out: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!

¶2

As an apostle, rejoicing, thou dost hold chorus with the choirs on high in the heavens, O blessed one, and thou dost chant in gladness: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!

¶3

Theotokion: By thy birthgiving have we been delivered from slavery to the law, for thou, O Theotokos, without knowing man, didst for us give birth unto the Deliverer. Blessed art thou among women, O most immaculate Mistress!

¶4

From one end of the earth to the other have thy proclamation and the utterance of thy divine words passed, teaching those who that cry: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!

¶5

Thou becamest a temple of the Trinity, O all-praised one; wherefore, thou didst demolish the temples and graven images of the idols, O apostle, and didst raise up temples to the glory and praise of Christ God.
