Let us praise the apostolic traditions of the zealot/ and the good shepherd of Christ’s Church,/ who laid down his soul for the sheep,/ chosen by God’s lot,/ and to Let us cry out to him with faith and hope:/ by the intercession of the saints to the Lord/ keep the Russian Church in silence,/ gather her scattered children into one flock,/ who have departed from Convert the right faith to repentance,/ save our country from internecine warfare,// and ask for the peace of God for people.
