Irmos: I sing to Thee, for with my hearing, O Lord, I heard and was horrified: for you are coming to me, looking for me who has gone astray. In this way I glorify Your condescension upon me, O Many-Merciful One.
Rest, O Lord, the soul of Your departed servant.
In trust in Thee, O God, who was exhausted and overcome by the violence of the enemy, spare Thy servant, O Savior, despising, as He is Good, his voluntary and involuntary sins.
Rest, O Lord, the soul of Your departed servant.
Having mercy on the unsearchable abyss, Lord, cover the abyss of sin of Your servant, O Lover of mankind, washing away with Your Blood the sin of ignorance and lack of faith.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Having dominion over the living and having dominion over the dead, have mercy on Thy servant (name), for you have all power in heaven and on earth, O Christ God, who is neighbor to the Father and purifies all things by the Spirit.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
You healed, O Mother of God, Eve’s accursed attempt; For you have given birth to a creator, to correct a mighty, perishing creature: pray for him and this unbreakable servant (name), who has transgressed the commandment of God, to save by one mercy.
