Having risen from sleep, I bring the midnight hymn to Ti, O Savior, and falling down crying to Ti: do not let me fall asleep in a sinful death, but have mercy on me, crucify yourself with your will, and hasten to raise me who lies in laziness, and save me by standing and by prayer, and by nightly sleep, make me a sinless day, O Christ God, and save me.
Rising from sleep, I bring the midnight song to You, Savior, and falling at Your feet, I cry to You: do not let me fall asleep in sinful death, but have pity on me, who voluntarily endured crucifixion, and quickly raise me, lying carelessly, and save me, standing before You in prayer. And after a night’s sleep, send me a clear, sinless day, O Christ God, and save me.
