Ode IV

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Christ is my power, my God and my Lord, the honored Church doth sing, crying out in godly manner with a pure mind, keeping festival in the Lord.

¶2

The Lord Himself, Who alone is holy, numbered thee among the honored choir of His disciples, O blessed one, foreseeing the honor and splendor of thy life.

¶3

Theotokion: Through thy divine birthgiving, O Virgin, the most holy ranks of the angels have been united to the assemblies of men; for thou gavest birth to Christ the Savior, the Author of peace.

¶4

Full of the miracles of the divine Spirit, O herald of God, thou workest wonders, dispelling infirmities; and thou hast freed men from the wickedness of the evil spirits.

¶5

The effulgence of God which descended upon thy heart made it divinely radiant, O blessed one, and in manner past understanding made it full of the gifts of the Spirit.
