Irmos: By God’s / Thy light, O Blessed One, / Illumine Thy souls / with love, I pray, / Lead Thee, / the Word of God, / the true God, / crying out from the darkness of sin.
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
Remember, O accursed man, / how you were enslaved by lies, slander, robbery, infirmity, by a fierce beast, / for the sake of sins; / my sinful soul, is this what you wanted?
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
They tremble with me, for I have brought guilt to all: / I have seen with my eyes, I have heard with my ears, I have spoken with an evil tongue, / I have betrayed everything to myself to hell; / my sinful soul, is this what you desire?
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
Thou hast received the fornicator and the repentant thief, O Saviour, / but I alone am aggravated with sinful laziness / and have enslaved myself to evil deeds, / my sinful soul, is this what thou desirest?
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Theotokos: Wonderful and quick helper to all people, Mother of God, / help me, unworthy, / for my sinful soul desires it.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Fill, O Pure One, my heart with joy, / Thy incorruptible joy that gives birth, / giving birth to the guilty one.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Deliver us from troubles, O Pure Mother of God, / having given birth to eternal deliverance, / and peace, which prevails over all minds.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Resolve the darkness of my sins, Bride of God, / with the enlightenment of Your Serene Highness, / Who gave birth to the Divine and Eternal Light.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Heal, O Pure One, the infirmity of my soul, / make Thy visits worthy, / and grant me health with Thy prayers.
Holy Angel of God, my guardian, pray to God for me.
As if I had boldness towards God, / my holy guardian, / I begged Him to deliver me from the evils that offend me.
Holy Angel of God, my guardian, pray to God for me.
O bright light, brightly enlighten my soul, / my mentor and guardian, / given to me by God to the Angel.
Glory: Sleeping me with the evil burden of sin, / keep vigil, O Angel of God, / and raise me up to be glorified by your prayer.
And now: Mary, Lady of the Brideless Mother of God, the hope of the faithful, / cast down the offerings of the enemy, / and those who sing make you glad.
