Like precious wealth, / came to us from the Great River Vyatka / to this reigning city of ours, Moscow / an honorable icon of your image, to St. Nicholas, / and many miracles in When you come, create / heal the sick and surprise all people. / For this reason, by the command of the autocrat Tsar / this honorable icon of yours was written off / for the enlightenment and prayer of all people of the royal city, / even today we see and worship her, / praying to you, the hidden place of Christ: / pray, holy one, for all of us, / to grant us peace and great mercy.
