Before rejecting the world,/ like the troubles of the sea, escape, fathers of reverence,/ after that, by the will of God,/ in the waters of the sea I will die a blessed death/ and to the painless rested from the earth, rejoicing. / Thus, after his death, miracles from Christ God were abundantly glorified, / warmth in troubles appeared to the faithful as helpers, / and now in Heaven stands before the Throne To Christ,/ most blessed Vassians and most glorious Jonah, // pray continually for our souls.
