Irmos: Christ is my strength, / God and Lord, the honest Church / sings divinely, crying out / from a pure meaning, celebrating in the Lord.
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
The path here is wide and pleasing to create sweets, / but it will be bitter on the last day, / when the soul will be separated from the body: / beware of these, O men, / The Kingdom for the sake of God.
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
Why did you offend the poor, / withhold bribes from the mercenary, / don’t love your brother, / persecute fornication and pride? / Forsake this, my soul, / and repent for the sake of the Kingdom of God.
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
Oh, foolish man, / how long will you scrabble like a bee, collecting your wealth? / Soon he will perish like dust and ashes: / but seek more the Kingdom of God.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Theotokos: Lady Theotokos, have mercy on me, a sinner, / and strengthen me in virtue, and keep me, / so that insolent death does not snatch me away unprepared, / and bring me, O Virgin, to the Kingdom of God.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Confusion of my passions, / who gave birth to the helmsman of the Lord, / and calmed the storm of my sins, O Bride of God.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Grant me Thy mercy calling upon the abyss, / who gave birth to the Blessed One and the Savior of all who sing to Thee.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Enjoying, O Most Pure One, Your gifts, / we sing songs of thanksgiving, / Our Lady leading You.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
On the bed of my illness and infirmity that I have fallen upon, / as I am gracious, help the Mother of God, / one Ever-Virgin.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
We give hope and affirmation and salvation to the immovable wall of Thee, the All-Singing One, / we get rid of every inconvenience.
Holy Angel of God, my guardian, pray to God for me.
Pray to God, the lover of mankind, my guardian, / and do not forsake me, / but keep my life everlasting in the world / and grant me irresistible salvation.
Holy Angel of God, my guardian, pray to God for me.
As an intercessor and guardian of my life, you are received from God, Angel, / I pray to you, holy one, / to free me from all troubles.
Glory: Cleanse my filthiness with your sanctity, my guardian, / and may I be excommunicated from part of Shuiya by your prayers / and may I appear as a partaker of glory.
And now: I am bewildered by the evils that have befallen me, O Most Pure One, / but deliver me from them quickly: / for I alone have come to You.
