Quick helper to all those who diligently come running to you and our warm representative before the Lord, holy and faithful Grand Duke Alexandra! Look mercifully upon us, unworthy ones, who have created many iniquities that have no use for themselves, who now flow to the chain of your relics [or to your holy icon] and from the depths of your heart cry out to you. In your life you were a zealot and defender of the Orthodox faith: and you unshakably established us in it with your warm prayers to God. You have carefully carried out the great service entrusted to you: and with your help, instruct us to abide in whatever we are called to eat. Having defeated the regiments of adversaries, you drove them away from the borders of Russia: and you will overthrow all visible and invisible enemies against us who have taken up arms. You, having left the corruptible crown of the earthly kingdom, have chosen a silent life, and now you are righteously crowned with an incorruptible crown in heaven: intercede for us, we humbly pray to you, for a quiet and serene life, and through your intercession arrange for us a steady march towards the eternal Kingdom.
Standing with all the saints before the throne of God, pray for all Orthodox Christians, especially for our most pious, autocratic, great sovereign, Emperor Nicholas Alexandrovich of all Russia, may the Lord God preserve them with His grace in peace, health, long life and all prosperity in the future summer, may we ever glorify God in the Holy Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
