Lord our God, Great and Merciful! In the tenderness of our hearts, we humbly pray to You: preserve under the shelter of Your goodness from every evil situation the state of our most pious sovereign, Emperor Nikolai Alexandrovich: protect him on all his paths with Your holy Angels, so that nothing will happen to the enemy, and the son of iniquity will not embitter him: fill him with long days and strength strength, may he accomplish everything for Your glory and for the good of his people. We, rejoicing in Your all-good providence for him, will bless and glorify Your all-holy name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
