Kontakion in Tone 8
(to the special melody ‘To thee the Champion Leader’)
Ye faithful witnesses, heroes who gave their last measure of love
In Shenksville, Arlington, and in Manhattan
At the Trade Center, ye joined the holy relics
Of Saint Nicholas and Saint Sava the sanctified
In a cloud that showed forth your last devotion
By your example we sing:
O Lord Jesus, be our comfort and strength.
It’s an aspect of Jesus that goes so ill noticed today.
Jesus hardly came to help us merely Live Decent Earthly Lives. Which is what a lot of Christian practice has dumbed itself down to in this modern day.
He’s the Champion Leader. The truest heroes walk in His spirit.
God has to be groaning from heaven at how underestimated His Son is.
Amen!!!!
