Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: O Lord God of our fathers, Who in the beginning founded the earth and established the heavens by Thy word: blessed art Thou forever!

¶2

Having fought against the foe, and battled the passions yet more, thou wast shown to be a victor over both; but surrendering in humility thou didst give glory unto God, crying out: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!

¶3

Theotokion: Fearing not the fiery furnace, the children who prefigured thee, O Virgin, cried out in gratitude for thee: Blessed art Thou, O God of our fathers!

¶4

The ranks of the angels and the choirs of the righteous, accompanying the holy king who is received into the kingdom of Christ, hymn God Who is wondrous in His saints, crying out: Blessed art Thou, O God!

¶5

Departing the sin-loving world out of season, thou didst reach the heavenly fatherland, O Edward, where thou dost pray unceasingly to the blessed God of thy fathers in behalf of thine earthly homeland.
